Time to see yourself in a different light

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I enjoy working with older teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions—both big and small. I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and grounded in where you are right now. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches while always staying attuned to you as a person, not just a set of symptoms. I practice from a trauma-informed lens, and I am trained in CPT and EMDR, while also gently integrating tools and strategies from CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and values-based approaches. Therapy can hold deep and meaningful work while still leaving space for warmth, curiosity, humor, and moments of genuine connection. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we move at your pace toward healing, clarity, and meaningful change. I look forward to supporting you as you take this next step.

Welcome! My passion is helping children, adolescents, and adults flourish through uncovering their strengths, building resilience, and learning healthy ways to cope with various life stressors. I encourage my clients to be themselves, without any fear of judgement during our sessions together. I enjoy working with all ages and address depression, behavioral issues, life transitions, grief, and anxiety. 

Additionally, I am a former Early Childhood educator, perinatal parent-child attachment support, and human services provider with over 18 years of experience across different cultural settings. In my work with young children and teens I like to incorporate art expression, play therapy, trauma focused CBT, and sensory integration techniques for self-regulation and adaptation. When working with young children and adolescents my goal is to equip individuals with tools and skills they need to cope with adversity while also enhancing emotional strength and well-being.

If you're reading this, you may be going through a difficult time — or simply searching for a space to reflect, grow, and reconnect with yourself. Either way, I'm glad you're here.
With a focus on depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship difficulties, I work with clients across the lifespan—from children to adults—helping individuals and families build resilience and healthy connections. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that healing is not just possible — it is an inherent right. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, all through a Trauma-Informed and Strength-Based lens. I also integrate Solution-Focused techniques and always strive to tailor our work to meet your unique goals and needs. At the heart of my practice is a person-centered philosophy: you are the expert of your life. My role is to walk beside you, helping you uncover the inner strengths and wisdom that may have been silenced by fear, hurt, or self-doubt. I believe, as Carl Rogers said, that “the good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” Our work together isn’t about fixing you — it’s about supporting you as you move toward the life you want to create. I see therapy as a collaborative journey, where healing begins through validation, resilience is nurtured, and meaning is rediscovered. Together, we’ll explore patterns, beliefs, and past experiences with compassion and curiosity — and begin to reshape the narratives that no longer serve you. This is not about becoming someone else — it’s about reclaiming who you’ve always been. Together, we will move forward—one step, one meaningful conversation at a time.
