I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker supporting children, adolescents, adults, veterans, and individuals navigating displacement and life transitions. With experience across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings, I support clients facing complex challenges using Cognitive Behavioral Theraphy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed, and strengths-based approaches. My style is compassionate and structured, focused on emotional regulation, self-esteem, and practical skill-building in a safe, supportive space.
I specialize in emotional regulation, self-esteem, anger-management, and trauma. I help adolescents and adults identify triggers, build resilience, and develop tools to respond thoughtfully. I also support veterans and displaced individuals, offering a safe space focused on stability, empowerment and healing.
I provide culturally responsive, developmentally appropriate, and client-centered care, meeting each person with empathy and respect. Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your child, or your organization, I welcome you to reach out as we work toward healing, growth, and stability.
