At Modern Mind Therapy, I am dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children, adolescents, adults, and families. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring both clinical expertise and heartfelt passion to every therapeutic relationship, as well as to professional case consultation and clinical supervision. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, social and behavioral challenges, and have extensive experience supporting at-risk youth, families, and clinicians navigating complex emotional and clinical concerns.
My approach uses evidence-based practices like CBT, TF-CBT, and the Nurtured Heart Approach. I offer a supportive space for healing and growth. Passionate about maternal mental health, I'm pursuing my PMH-C to better support women through pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, and motherhood.
At Modern Mind Therapy, we help you grow from struggles, heal from pain, and move toward the life you want. A healthy mind supports healthy relationships, families, and success. We serve individuals, couples, children, and families with compassion because a modern frame of mind is the most successful one.
