About me

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping others become their authentic selves. I have 15 years of experience working with youth and families in various settings and 5 years of experience providing clinical therapy services.



I work with individuals of all ages struggling with a variety of mental health concerns and life challenges, including mood disorders, stress and anxiety, LGBTQIA+ related issues, trauma and abuse, grief/loss, divorce/separation, and eating disorders.

My treatment modalities of expertise include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Art Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

I utilize a strength-based approach to empower my clients to practice the courage and vulnerability to first love themselves. I am big proponent of radical self-love and the connection between mind, body, and soul. I believe that wholeheartedly loving yourself first is the key to long lasting change.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, empathy, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!

***Please note I am currently only able to provide therapy services via live chat option and only accept clients who prefer live chat at this time.

She is very caring and humble. Thank you for assisting me and for guiding me with wisdom.
