The counseling relationship between you and I is one of mutual respect and responsibility. Starting with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing, we will work together to help you move forward and reach your goals. Therapy is a process that takes place in a non-judgmental environment where you are free to share your thoughts, emotions, and concerns.

I work with older adolescents, adults and couples. Clients come to me for a variety of reasons including recent or past trauma, various forms of abuse, relationship difficulties, life stresses and transitions, depression, grief, anxiety, as well as personal growth and development, among others.

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.

Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

If you’re considering therapy, chances are something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, disconnected from yourself or the people around you, or simply ready for something to change.

I work with people navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, people-pleasing and conflict avoidance, trauma, grief, identity concerns, life transitions, and difficulty expressing what they need or want. My goal isn’t to fit you into a box or tell you who you should become. It’s to understand what life is like for you, what is getting in your way, and where you want to go from here.
