Introduction

As an Associate Clinical Social Worker, I approach therapy with compassion, authenticity, and a commitment to social justice. I recognize that many of the challenges people experience are influenced by the systems they navigate, and I understand how overwhelming those barriers can feel. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can focus on what is within your control while building confidence, resilience, and a greater sense of autonomy. I believe healing is rarely linear, and that growth often comes through self-compassion rather than perfection.
