Introduction

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience. I work with children, teens, adults, and parents who are navigating life’s challenges and looking for support, understanding, and a place to feel heard. Together, we’ll make space to explore what you’re experiencing and find a path forward that feels meaningful to you. For younger children, I consider whether telehealth is the right fit for their individual needs. My approach combines evidence-based treatment with genuine connection. I support clients with anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, life transitions, and trauma-related experiences, drawing from strengths-based and trauma-informed approaches. I tailor therapy to the person in front of me, because no two people and no two stories are exactly alike. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re already feeling overwhelmed. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. My hope is to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, feel genuinely heard, and take things one step at a time.
