My passion lies in supporting children, teens, and young adults navigate through daily life stressors via a collaborative and supportive therapeutic environment. I have an extensive background in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed or defined by their life stories, those navigating trauma, and individuals experiencing relationship issues, mood disorders, anxiety, and/or depression. When I am not counseling or doing assessments, you can catch me reading, journaling, listening to music, swimming, traveling/ visiting sanctuaries/endangered animals, and/or spending time with family and friends.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship stress, or family boundaries? I support adults with anxiety, depression, OCD, postpartum concerns, trauma, PTSD, grief, substance use, and relationship challenges. I especially support daughters of narcissistic mothers and people navigating estrangement or no contact. I welcome all races, genders, identities, LGBTQIA+ clients, and neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD or ADD. As a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience, I offer warmth, empathy, and respect for how identity and life shapes what you carry.
