Hello and welcome! I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to assisting you on your path towards healing and growth. I understand that life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, and seeking support is a powerful step towards positive change. With a heart full of compassion and a deep empathy for the human experience, I am here to provide you with a safe and nurturing space where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.

Empathy is the cornerstone of my practice. I believe in truly listening to your story, understanding your emotions and meeting you where you are. Whether you are facing these challenges individually, as a couple, or within your family. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem.
My passion lies in witnessing your growth and transformation.
