Here to Help You Heal
With six years of experience as a clinical social worker, I provide a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can navigate life's challenges while building resilience, confidence, and lasting emotional well-being. I work collaboratively with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing challenges with ADHD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. Meeting you where you are matters to me, and I look forward to working with you to find the solutions and answers you may be looking for.
My Approach to Care
Using a patient-centered approach, I tailor treatment to your unique needs by integrating evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), strengths-based therapy, narrative therapy, play therapy modalities, and Mindfulness.
My therapeutic style is warm, authentic, and collaborative, ensuring a safe space where you can explore your experiences, develop practical coping strategies, and move toward meaningful personal growth while incorporating your own interests into the therapeutic process. Whether you're seeking support during a difficult season or for recurrent life stressors, remember this quote: "We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside that emerges when life puts us to the test." — Isabel Allende
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a therapist began with an internship at a nonprofit providing mental health services for disadvantaged youth. Working with children and youth for many years taught me about the obstacles and stressors they face socially and academically at school. I've also gained experience across different settings, including treatment foster care programs and both elementary and high school settings
All of this work opened my eyes to the need to destigmatize mental health and inspired me to be part of that change. Now, as a mom to a teenager myself, I strive to help parents build connection with their children.
Personal Interests
In my free time, I love watching K-dramas and listening to K-pop with my daughter. I also enjoy traveling and taking my dog on nature adventures.
