Introduction

I believe the most effective work happens when you have a safe space to explore who you really are and whether that aligns with your values. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I help individuals—from young adults through older adults—examine the patterns, beliefs, and sometimes traumatic experiences that may be keeping them stuck. My approach is grounded in evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-focused work, and person-centered care, tailored to your unique needs. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, work stress, and many other challenges that affect how we show up in the world. I'm currently accepting new clients and offer telehealth appointments. I work with most major insurance plans, including BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, and others. If you're ready to take the first step in moving forward, I'd welcome the opportunity to work with you.
