I know reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and simply being here is an important first step. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to face it alone.

I worked in the field for several years under my MSW degree in various roles- (social worker at an inpatient psychiatric evaluation and treatment unit, on a community crisis response team, and in an outpatient setting)- before applying for my licensure approximately six years ago. Bachelor degree major was Psychology and a minor in Child and Family Studies.
