I’m a warm, structured LCSW who helps teens and adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and relationship challenges. In therapy we’ll understand your patterns, build coping and communication skills, and create realistic steps toward the life and connections you want. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling seen, supported, and more equipped for daily life. If you’re ready for support that is both compassionate and practical, I’d be glad to work with you.

You are facing the stress and fear of an immigration case that feels deeply personal and overwhelming. You might be holding pain that no one else sees. Maybe you've experienced violence or persecution, or you're carrying the weight of separation from loved ones. You deserve to have your story told with dignity, accuracy, and care. Whether you're seeking asylum, a hardship waiver, a VAWA petition, or support with another immigration matter, this process can stir up powerful emotions such as anxiety, trauma, grief, and uncertainty about your future and the safety of your family.

Many of my clients come to virtual therapy feeling stuck in self-doubt or caught in constant self-criticism, often shaped by family expectations, cultural pressures, or life transitions. Together, we’ll work on rebuilding confidence and creating a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself — all from the comfort of your own space.
