When life feels heavy or uncertain, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting children, teens, and families through compassionate, trauma-informed care. With five years of experience working with youth, I understand the real challenges young people and their families face. I also provide immigration evaluations in English and Spanish and collaborate with trusted translators for Farsi and Arabic, offering clear, supportive assessments during critical legal and personal transitions. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel seen and supported as they move
I offer specialized services in attachment-based work, EMDR, trauma, anxiety, and depression, always with a holistic approach in mind. My work integrates evidence-based therapies to promote healing and growth in a safe, calm, and supportive environment.
If you’re ready to take a step toward feeling better, I’m here to support you. Together, we can work toward healing, strength, and well-being in a way that feels safe and comfortable for you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to schedule a consultation. I’d be happy to connect with you!
