If you're the one everyone else leans on, welcome. You've found a space where you don't have to perform.


As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience, I help adolescents (12+) and adults navigate anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and the lasting weight of trauma. My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and I'm trained in Brainspotting, integrating music and creative practices when they fit. Sessions with me feel like real conversation, clinically grounded, never clinical-feeling.


You are not broken, and you were never meant to be fixed. Whenever you're ready, I'd be honored to begin.
