Introduction

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to creating a safe pace where healing can unfold at your own pace. I work with individuals across the lifespan—who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, and life's major transitions. My approach integrates Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic work, and relational therapy, allowing us to address both what you've experienced and how it lives in your body and relationships. Whether you're processing past wounds, managing present stress, or adjusting to significant change, I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe and in control of the pace. I offer telehealth sessions and am currently accepting new clients. Let's work together to help you move toward greater ease and resilience.
