As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C), I specialize in supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging transitions. I work primarily with adults who are navigating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, depression, and anxiety. Whether you are a new parent, managing a history of trauma, or simply seeking to improve your mental well-being, I am here to help you through it. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness, somatic-based interventions, and attachment theory.

I am currently unable to take new clients. - In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, divided, and overwhelming, it’s easy to feel emotionally drained, afraid, or unsure how to move forward. The weight of trauma, chronic pain, and societal stress can leave you feeling disconnected or exhausted. Maybe you're longing to feel more present, more alive—but instead, you're just trying to get through the day. If you're wrestling with old wounds, grief, or feelings of isolation, you're not alone. I help people like you reclaim your strength, understand what’s keeping you stuck, and move toward a life rooted in clarity and meaning.

Welcome! I'm glad you found my practice. With me as your Therapist, you will feel supported as you find the solutions needed to make positive change. Clients who benefit from working with me are interested in improving communication skills, working past negative patterns, and trauma to identifying new, positive life goals. My therapeutic approach is an interweaving of strengths-based, solution-focused, and family-systems modalities. I often tell my clients, “you are the expert on your own life,” which means that I will work with you to identify ways to create the life you want - where your actions support your aspirations.

I believe there is profound healing within our ability to embark on honest and compassionate exploration of our unique stories in the name of growth and change. Our lived experiences are vast and varied and some of our stories are deeply rooted in generational trauma and suppression of our authentic selves for survival. This can make it difficult to truly know and trust ourselves. I understand how important it is to find the right therapist to walk with you on your quest for clarity, growth and healing in a way that honors your story, free of shame and judgment.

When I meet someone for the first time, I create a safe place free of judgement and open for them to tell their story. As they speak, I hear their words and voice tone. I look at their face, eyes, hands, feet, whole body, energy and see what they are also telling me. Then I develop a sense of who they are.

Authenticity is a key component of my life philosophy and my therapeutic treatment philosophy. Being real, genuine, and vulnerable are critical components of any healthy relationship be it with yourself or others. People are often too quick to condemn themselves and struggle to realize their own potential out of fear. There is no judgment here. No right or wrong ways, no lanes to stay in. Only you and your needs. Whatever it is that you are working through or need to work through you do not have to face it alone or suffer in silence anymore. I am here and as a natural-born healer.

Among the greatest gifts you can give yourself are awareness and acceptance. One of the biggest responsibilities our mind has is to make predictions based on our understanding of the world around us. These predictions can often lead us to repeat the same mistakes, or fail to take hold of things we desperately want. Are you someone who feels the need to make a change, but feels lost or overwhelmed with how? Do you feel out of place in your family, or with your friends? Are you working too hard at school, in your relationship, at work or with your children and feel like you don't have much to show for your efforts?
