Here to Help You Heal
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) working with adults and adolescents on social anxiety, identity exploration, relationship difficulties, mood instability, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, challenges with goal attainment, intergenerational conflict, and major life transitions. This work also includes a particular focus on young adults, adolescents, and LGBTQ+ populations, helping them navigate relationship challenges, self-compassion, and major life changes.
Collaboration is at the center of how I practice: you stay at the forefront of your own care, guiding your life toward a better future. Watching you take control of your decisions and life in our work together is what I look forward to most.
My Approach to Care
Helping people access their inner world in order to gain self-compassion is something I'm passionate about. That’s why I take a strength-based, non-judgmental, and curious approach centered on emotional regulation skills and self-esteem building, in a compassionate, relaxed environment.
Through an exploratory, conversational style, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you build self-esteem and understand your thoughts and behaviors. These treatments are tailored to you at all times, taking your unique needs and situation into consideration for truly customized care.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a therapist began with my journey of carving my own identity within a religious circle, along with the challenges I faced during that time. This experience deepened my commitment to providing humanistic and collaborative care to my patients, allowing me to bring a sincere and authentic perspective to each session in my practice now.
Personal Interests
Outside the office, I enjoy bike rides and beach days when the weather is nice, and I love catching a great comedy show when it's cold out!
