About me
I am an experienced licensed clinical social worker who is dedicated to all age groups and helping them cope with anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, bipolar, PTSD, and life changes.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Saint Leo University. I currently serve as a School Social Worker, where I support students and families in navigating emotional, behavioral, and social challenges. I’m passionate about promoting mental health and well-being, and I strive to create a space where every person feels safe, respected, and empowered.
I use DBT, CBT, psychoeducation, and Brief Solution-Focused techniques with cultural sensitivity and a trauma-informed lens. I honor each person’s lived experience and strengths. I value authenticity and encourage growth, knowing healing begins with self-awareness, connection, and showing up as your true self.
I’m honored to support clients who are open and ready for growth. Your true self is always welcome—no matter how complex your feelings. Together, we’ll navigate challenges and build confidence. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be privileged to join you on this journey.
