Welcome! I have 10 years of diverse professional social work experience and have had the privilege of working with clients of many ages and backgrounds. My work has focused largely on supporting teens, children, and their families.

I have experience helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, and the stresses of daily life. Each person’s story is unique, and I feel honored to walk alongside those who are seeking support, healing, and growth.

I believe that therapy is a deeply personal experience, one that looks different for everyone. My goal is to meet you where you are and work collaboratively toward your goals in a way that feels both comfortable and effective.

I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you move forward on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
