Welcome! Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, so I invite you to come exactly as you are. My practice is a space where your comfort is a priority—whether that means bringing a warm drink, a snack, or even curling up with a cozy throw blanket during our session. I believe that healing happens best when you feel safe and at ease. My style is warm, casual, and deeply present; I’m here to sit in the trenches with you, offering a nurturing environment where you can be your most authentic self.
As an independent licensed social worker, I use EMDR, DBT, and CBT to help adults (18-99) navigate ADHD, trauma, and mood disorders. Whether you're facing OCD, chronic illness, or dual diagnosis, my approach is trauma-focused and LGBTQ+ affirming. From Gottman-informed relationship work to ASAM-certified care, I provide tools to help you heal and grow.
You don't have to carry grief, trauma, or a mood disorder alone. I offer a nurturing yet challenging partnership to help you rediscover your strengths. No matter what you are walking through, you deserve a space where you are seen and supported without judgment. If you’re ready to begin, I invite you to reach out. Let's find a path forward together.

I support a diverse population, from those facing daily stressors to those managing severe mental illness. While talk therapy is a valuable part of treatment, I find that many clients seek more than just conversation. I utilize evidence-based models like DBT to provide concrete, actionable skills. This empowers you to effectively manage symptoms and achieve the high quality of life you deserve.
