As a Licensed Master of Social Work, I offer a warm, inclusive, and collaborative therapeutic space where your goals, strengths, and unique story are at the center of our work together. Grounded in a strengths-based perspective and informed by mindfulness practices, my approach is personalized to meet your needs with care and respect.
I specialize in supporting adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, life transitions, and end-of-life concerns. I also provide sensitive care for those experiencing infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or pregnancy after loss. My practice is affirming of all identities and fully inclusive of LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Together, we’ll create a path toward healing, resilience, and growth.
