For more than two decades, I’ve sat with people in some of their most vulnerable moments—times when life feels heavy, confusing, or painfully uncertain. I’ve witnessed how depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self‑doubt can quietly shape a person’s world, and I’ve also seen the strength that emerges when someone finally has a space where they don’t have to carry it alone. My work is rooted in the belief that every person’s story deserves to be met with respect, curiosity, and compassion. Clients often come to me during major life transitions or when relationships feel strained or overwhelming. Others arrive feeling isolated, unsure of their purpose, or disconnected from their own voice. Together, we slow things down. We make room for emotions that have been pushed aside. We explore patterns that once protected you but now keep you stuck. And we build the resilience needed to move toward a life that feels more aligned and grounded. Culturally responsive care is central to how I practice. I honor the identities, histories, and lived experiences each client brings into the room. Whether you’re navigating workplace stress due to the trauma of individual or institutional racism , ageism, healing from relational wounds, or searching for deeper self‑understanding, my intention is to offer a steady, empathetic presence as you find your way forward. This is a space where you don’t have to perform, please, or pretend. You get to be fully human—and fully supported—as you grow.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with approximately four years of experience supporting adults facing a variety of mental health challenges. My clinical experience includes working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, mood disorders, trauma, life transitions, and other emotional concerns in an inpatient psychiatric setting. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where clients can feel heard, respected, and empowered. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, develop healthy coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy. I tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major life transition, struggling with relationships, or simply looking for support and personal growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don't have to do it alone.
