Take a deep breath, be kind to yourself, & remember there's nothing wrong with you. Life can be tough, especially when you don't have a space to be yourself or explore what that looks like. I believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, & valued just as they are. My goal is to help you find your strengths, build resilience, & get to know yourself better so you can break down walls. I use trauma-responsive approaches with each person, which include mindfulness, self-empowerment, & psychoeducation. Therapy is a place to express your emotions with someone who's fully present. If you're ready to grow in a supportive space, I'm here.
As a therapist, I’m all about providing compassionate care while working together, with you in the driver’s seat. My goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and create positive change. We’ll definitely find some time to laugh too.
Therapy might seem intimidating, but it's really just a space to feel all your emotions with someone who’s truly there for you. You deserve to feel strong and empowered. If you're ready to push yourself and grow in a supportive environment, I encourage you to take that first step and reach out.

I work with clients who may be struggling with self-esteem, PTSD, and depression/anxiety related to experiencing childhood abuse, estrangement, and other life challenges. The first few sessions are focused on assessment of symptoms, diagnosis (if using insurance), and creating a treatment plan to help map out goals. The therapeutic relationship is crucial, and is always being attended to.

As an 'eclectic' social worker I pull from numerous methodologies dependent upon the client's learning style/preferences. The foundation of my work is based on attachment theory, schema therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychoeducation. The goal is to help individuals understand themselves and recognize their most influential thought patterns, in order to create individualized change.
