Here to Help You Heal
I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents and adults through a trauma-informed lens. My goal is to provide a warm, grounded, and non-judgmental space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported as you navigate your mental health journey.
I specialize in trauma and mood disorders, helping individuals build practical coping skills while deepening insight into how the mind and body respond to stress, overwhelm, and life transitions. Together, we will work to untangle the patterns that no longer serve you and cultivate tools that foster resilience and emotional balance.
My approach is collaborative, relational, and authentic. I believe healing happens when you feel safe enough to show up as you are—and supported enough to move toward who you want to become. No one should have to carry their pain alone, and I’m honored to walk alongside you as you rediscover hope, strength, and possibility.
My Approach to Care
I believe in practicing radical empathy and acceptance, which helps me be a therapist who believes in hope and healing – because I have experienced it. Working together, you are assured a welcoming and judgement-free environment that incorporates a strengths-based approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and polyvagal-informed techniques to help you understand your reactions, reduce stress, and feel more balanced.
My style is supportive and authentic, with a touch of humor when appropriate, and adapted to your hopes and goals. I look forward to being part of your mental health journey to help build resilience, regulate the mind and body, and cultivate a more peaceful, balanced life.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a therapist began with my own mental health journey in my 20s. Having survived a traumatic upbringing, I knew I needed serious healing in order to build the life I wanted for myself. This personal experience in overcoming obstacles raised by trauma deepened my commitment to pursuing a career in mental health, and fueled my commitment to providing a holistic and deeply empathic approach to helping others heal. That’s why, in my practice now, I bring a humble and nonjudgmental perspective to each session, knowing that we all need help on our life journeys.
Personal Interests
When I’m not in the office, I love taking photos in nature, hiking, skiing, attending live music concerts (especially at outdoor venues), traveling, and learning about plants and animals. I’m also a big fan of mental health and wellness podcasts as well as card and board games (Catan is super fun, even if I don't often win!). Most of all, I love dogs, especially my senior dog (Frenchie/pug/beagle mix).
