Introduction

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life's challenges, transitions, and emotional struggles. My experience spans community mental health, healthcare, and private practice, allowing me to work with people from diverse backgrounds and across different stages of life. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and perinatal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and the emotional challenges of parenthood. I also work with individuals navigating grief, family dynamics, attachment wounds, and difficulties with self-worth and boundaries. My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, while also encouraging meaningful self-reflection and personal accountability. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed interventions, and somatic techniques, tailoring treatment to each person's unique needs. I believe that healing involves more than managing symptoms. It also means understanding the experiences, relationships, and patterns that have shaped how we see ourselves and navigate the world. Together, we work toward greater emotional awareness, healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self-trust. My goal is to help you move beyond survival and reconnect with your most authentic self.
