Here to Help You Heal
As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), I help adolescents, adults, and families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, emotional wellness, and relationship challenges through trauma-informed, evidence-based, and culturally responsive care. Together, we work toward building resilience, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change.
I believe in the power of real connection, collaborative efforts, and meeting individuals where they are. No one is perfect and we are all individuals looking to find our way, so together we can create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling, and overall get closer to your goals.
My Approach to Care
Healing begins with trust in the therapeutic relationship, and I believe that everyone who sits across from me has the resilience and capacity to grow. That’s why I always strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, valued, and empowered, through a collaborative, culturally responsive, and strengths-based approach.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and motivational interviewing to help you build awareness, process emotions, and strengthen the skills you already have, tailoring a collaborative, compassionate, and eclectic style to your unique needs or situation. My goal is to offer you a space for honest expression, where you can develop practical coping skills, gain deeper self-awareness, and become the person you envision yourself to be as you navigate life's challenges.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
I didn’t always want to be a therapist. Recognizing a knack for creativity but unable to settle on one medium, I went to school for marketing. Through that experience, I found something I enjoyed even more: the opportunity to truly connect with others and hear the stories each person had to offer. I like to say this line of work found me at the best possible time, and I bring an authentic and empathetic perspective to each session.
Personal Interests
Outside of therapy, I enjoy embracing every moment life has to offer, whether that's spending time with friends and family, trying new restaurants, or traveling. I also love all things music, film, and fitness, including tennis, running, and hiking. Most of all, I enjoy spending time in nature, which grounds me and helps me stay balanced.
