I am deeply passionate about empowering people to reclaim their strength and embrace healing. Through a wellness-centered, strengths-based approach, I aim to create a compassionate space where your voice is heard, your experiences are honored, and your goals are prioritized. Together, we’ll navigate life’s challenges, uncover resilience, and build tools to support both your emotional and physical well-being. I recently completed training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and am excited to integrate this powerful approach into my work with clients.
As a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Certified Wellness Counselor, I support teens and adults in navigating health challenges, life transitions, divorce, and parenting struggles. Grounded in empowerment, growth, and resilience, I offer a compassionate space to explore what matters most, honor your needs, and build the confidence.
I currently work at YouThrive, where our mission is to create a safe space where you feel heard and understood. Life’s challenges can be tough, but you don’t have to face them alone. Reach out today to schedule a session and step confidently into the changes you’re ready to make.
