As a clinical therapist with 5 years of experience, I help adults and teenagers navigate the complex intersection of mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression, alongside substance use, relationship issues, life transitions, and the difficult process of reentering society after incarceration.
I'm passionate about guiding individuals through trauma-informed care, valuing the worth of each person, and focusing on strengths as they regain stability, rebuild relationships, and find purpose. I look forward to helping you move toward lasting emotional and personal growth in our work together.
Working together, you can expect a compassionate and empowering environment customized to your unique mental health challenges, life circumstances, and personal goals. My style is collaborative, empathic, and nonjudgmental, helping me become a trustworthy and sympathetic therapist throughout each session. Care may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and other approaches to help you build coping skills and foster meaningful change.
My passion for social work was shaped by watching a loved one struggle with mental health and addiction and seeing how a compassionate social worker helped them find stability and hope when our family felt lost. This firsthand experience deepened my commitment to providing kind, trauma-informed care that meets people where they are in the therapeutic setting, where I bring a grounded, empathetic perspective to each session, along with a deep respect for every patient’s resilience and lived experience.
I love indulging on my creative side whenever possible! My hobbies outside the office include flipping Mid-Century Modern (MCM) furniture, tufting rugs and wall art, and making cards.
