I am a registered social worker with over 20 years of experience. I have helped people who experience issues such as: depression, anxiety, addiction, abuse, trauma, anger, LGBTQ-related issues, relationship issues, grief, and family conflict. My journey into social work began at age 14, when I lost my father to cancer. Because there were few supports available at the time, I felt alone and stuck. This prompted me to dedicate my life to assisting others during difficult times, and help them realize they are not alone.

You’re doing your best — but inside, you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, disconnected, or unsure of your path.

Whether you're grieving the child you're still hoping for, feeling lost in motherhood, or untangling patterns like people-pleasing and self-abandonment, this is a space to be honest about what’s hard and begin to heal.

Maybe you are carrying trauma or anxiety that feels overwhelming, you suffer with sleepless nights, racing thoughts, flashbacks, or a constant knot in your stomach. Perhaps you’ve managed for years, but lately the walls you built to cope feel like they’re crumbling, leaving you vulnerable and exhausted. Deep down, you want relief: to feel calmer, more present, and free from survival mode. You long for restful sleep, clarity, and the strength to face life without fear holding you back. Most of all, you want to feel safe in your own mind and body again.

We all experience circumstances in our lives that can be challenging to manage, and I understand that choosing therapy can be a vulnerable and difficult choice. But I want you to know that is also an empowering choice, and I’m here to support you with that.
