I work with adults who feel weighed down by depression, anxiety, or big life transitions-such as changes in relationships, work, or identity. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck or disconnected, wanting to feel more like themselves again. With over 15 years of experience as a Clinical Social Worker, I offer a compassionate space to explore what's underneath these feelings, learn to navigate emotions and life stressors, and develop healthier ways of coping. My goal is to help you build confidence, find more ease, and create relationships-and a life-that feels genuinely fulfilling.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. I draw from evidence-based practices to include Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care, to support each individual's unique journey. Therapy with me is a space for healing, self-discovery, and building a more grounded, authentic self.
I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I meet each client with empathy, curiosity, and care, honoring your unique experiences and pace. If you're feeling overwhelmed or simply ready for change, I invite you to reach out-you're not alone, and support is here when you're ready.
