I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in perinatal mental health, women's issues, and anxiety disorders. With a client-centered approach, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and achieve meaningful personal growth. Whether you're experiencing pregnancy or postpartum challenges, fertility struggles, anxiety, or life changes unique to women, I provide a safe space to explore your emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and regain balance.
My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Interventions to support emotional well-being and long-term growth. I prioritize a client-centered approach, tailoring therapy to your unique needs, goals, and strengths to ensure a supportive and empowering experience.
If you're struggling with overwhelm, stress, or major life transitions, you don’t have to go through it alone. Let’s work together to help you feel more confident, empowered, and aligned with your true self. Visit my website or email me directly—I look forward to supporting you!
