Whether you’re navigating the challenges of caregiving or looking for relief from anxiety or sleep difficulties, you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and greater emotional well-being. With over 15 years of experience in mental health and a deep commitment to compassionate care, I bring both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work to my work as a Registered Social Worker. I offer personalized support tailored to your unique needs, helping you better understand what you’re carrying and find practical ways to move forward.
I have extensive experience and training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), CBT-i (Insomnia) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and am passionate about providing quality, evidence-based care. I work collaboratively with my clients to build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and challenge negative thought patterns.
Together, we can create meaningful change and empower you to move forward with confidence. If you feel we could be a good fit, I’d love to connect! Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation and take the first step toward positive change.
