I understand that attending therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming, and frequently, the most difficult aspect of the entire process is simply taking the initial step to begin. Nevertheless, you are here now, and you are officially embarking on your personal path to heal and rebuild. I genuinely welcome the chance to connect with you and discover more about exactly how I can support you. My personal approach is consistently warm, deeply empathetic, and highly collaborative.

I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood in the past.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health, and I hold a Doctor of Social Work (DSW). I specialize in childhood trauma, anxiety, burnout, and working with neurodivergent individuals, including ADHD and autism. I often support people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or exhausted from masking and holding everything together on their own.

My style is warm and down to earth, and I focus on meeting you where you are in each session. Therapy with me is collaborative and flexible, shaped around what works best for you. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

Therapist

I work with adults who grew up with emotionally immature or emotionally unavailable parents. Many come in feeling lonely, empty, or misunderstood, often stuck in people‐pleasing, low self‐esteem, anxiety, or depression, and unsure of who they are or how to form lasting emotional connections. I also support clients facing work stress, major life transitions, and grief. Together, we slow things down, build insight, strengthen identity and boundaries, and develop skills for emotional regulation and healthier relationships so clients feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, or a major life transition, it can feel exhausting trying to hold everything together while carrying so much on your own. You don't have to face those challenges alone. For more than 15 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing anxiety, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, and trauma, helping them build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Working with adolescents and adults, I provide a warm, open minded environment where you can feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered to move forward with confidence while honoring the experiences that have shaped your journey.
