I have clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families from a variety of different backgrounds. My work with couples employs empathy as a core part of the therapeutic experience, so that my clients feel validated and have the space to learn how to hear each other.

I have worked with children, teens, and adults, and I have worked with a variety of populations.
I do my best to make my therapy space as welcoming, warm, and inviting as possible. I believe we all have our own unique story nobody else can truly understand, but I do my best to get to know you and your story to help you understand what is going on, where it comes from, and how to overcome the barriers and challenges so you can be the best version of yourself possible. I work with my clients at their pace to accommodate their needs and comfortability, but I do not plan on seeing any of my clients for life. What you are able to learn with me will ideally be usable in the long run to help with any future challenges or barriers.

If you’re looking for a supportive therapist to help your child or adolescent, I’d be happy to talk with you about how we can work together to support their growth.
As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), my focus is on helping children and adolescents navigate the ups and downs of growing up. I believe that therapy should be a safe and nurturing space where young people feel comfortable being themselves. My goal is to build a strong, trusting relationship with each client, so they can openly express their thoughts and feelings. Through a combination of behavioral therapies, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Emotion-Focused interventions, I work with the child or adolescent to learn life and social skills throughout each aspect of their life.
