About

I Listen, Empower and Transform

I have been practicing as a licensed clinical social worker for over 10 years. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my family and my awe of the human mind. I've always been people-oriented, deeply empathetic, and curious about the life story of others. Therapy allows me to walk alongside others in moments of struggle and assist them in developing skills, building resilience, finding hope, and getting on the path to healing. Meaningful progress starts with aligning your treatment goals with your values, strengths, and lived experiences. I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and improve your relationships. You deserve someone who is relatable, non-judgmental, and genuinely invested in your well-being. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Activation, Problem Solving Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care that is tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll build a path that honors your values and helps you move toward the life you envision. I bring warmth, empathy, and honesty into every session so you feel supported and empowered to grow.
