I get it! You may be carrying stress, pressure, or emotions you have held in silence. You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You are looking for clarity, relief, and space to breathe again a place to understand what feels heavy and reconnect with parts of yourself pushed aside by survival mode. You want to cope with more capacity, feel less stuck, and either find yourself again or discover who you truly are without the add ons of life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have experience and training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and CBT.

I will work hard to make sure you wholeheartedly believe that your mental health diagnosis does not have to define who you are. While I can’t promise that therapy will always be fun and something you look forward to week after week, I do believe therapy has the potential to be transformative for you if you allow it to be. My number one goal is to provide you with a safe space for you to be authentically and unapologetically you, without any filters or judgment. I will always be there to trust you, support you, and gently nudge you (when you need it, and trust me, we all need a little nudge once in a while).

I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Positive Psychology to help clients build insight, resilience, and momentum.
I believe that all clients deserve space to be seen and supported to reach their goals, and I work hard to meet clients where they are at. That being said, my ideal client is the person who struggles with anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD (and maybe working on/ maintaining sobriety) who just needs some extra support and guidance to manage the symptoms of those illnesses, as well as all of the emotions of recovery and re-entry (structure, support, etc.). These clients are the ones who often benefit most from stabilization, goal-oriented treatment, and support with emotional regulation and/or building healthy routines.

My goal is to help children make sense of big feelings, busy brains, and bumpy moments. Some kids have engines that run fast all day long. Others worry so much their tummies start to hurt. Some feel sad and stuck, while others feel mad and mixed up. Some are figuring out friendships, saying goodbye to someone they love, or trying to adjust to new schools, families, or routines.
For parents, my goal is to help you make sense of what is going on for your child, why, and how to support them through a lens that is informed by child development, neurobiology, and the scientific research literature on child mental health.
