My journey into social work began through my own experience healing from trauma, which allows me to connect with clients in a genuine, relatable, and compassionate way. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to carry anxiety, depression, shame, or painful past experiences while trying to keep up with everyday life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are—without pressure to have everything figured out.
My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, collaborative, and focused on meaningful change. I use compassion and evidence-based approaches like CBT and Motivational Interviewing to help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and regain control. Together, we’ll create realistic, supportive goals at a pace that feels right for you.
Your first session is a chance for us to connect, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore support that fits your needs. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. Clients describe me as warm, supportive, and approachable while offering gentle accountability. I offer virtual sessions and accept insurance through Headway
