Life Can Be Challenging—You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone. We all face struggles—stress, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck. You don’t have to have a crisis to seek support. Sometimes, you just need guidance to help you gain clarity, confidence, and direction in your life.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with everyday people who want to feel more fulfilled, balanced, and at peace. Whether you're adjusting to a life transition, managing stress, or looking to improve your relationships, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can explore your concerns and work toward meaningful change.

My approach is practical and collaborative. Together, we'll uncover patterns that may be holding you back, develop new perspectives, and create a plan that aligns with your goals. I use evidence-based techniques, but most importantly, I tailor our work to what feels right for you.
