I am a dedicated and compassionate clinician committed to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals and communities. With a strong foundation in social work principles and a genuine passion for helping others, I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to create meaningful change.
I believe that every individual has inherent worth and deserves to live a life filled with dignity, respect, and opportunities. I am focused on advocating for those who may not have a voice, empowering individuals to overcome challenges, and collaborating with communities to build a more inclusive and supportive environment.
My areas of interest include working with teens and young adults, anxiety, depression, ADHD, adjustment disorders, and self-love.
