About me
Experienced social worker dedicated to mental wellness, birth work, and personal transformation, helping clients feel seen, supported, and equipped to thrive.
A compassionate clinical social worker and holistic practitioner dedicated to supporting individuals and couples as they navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Therapy sessions are grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and a trauma-informed lens, creating a space where clients feel heard, validated, and supported without judgment.
This practice blends clinical training with real-world experience, offering a collaborative environment where healing is viewed as both a personal and relational journey. Clients often seek support for concerns such as anxiety, trust issues, communication struggles, infidelity recovery, identity challenges, and the emotional impacts of past relationships. Each session is tailored to the client’s needs, using strengths-based, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to build clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience.
Services also integrate specialized experience in perinatal support and birthwork, providing guidance for those experiencing anxiety during pregnancy, postpartum emotional changes, or relationship stress connected to parenthood. This practice honors the complexity of human experience by holding space for clients from all walks of life.
Clients can expect transparency, empowerment, accountability, and a therapeutic partnership that focuses on restoring joy, strengthening relationships, and reclaiming personal peace. The goal is not perfection, it's progress, healing, and building a life that feels safe, meaningful, and aligned.
I offer support for individuals dealing with anxiety, relationship difficulties, substance abuse, and the distinct mental health challenges experienced by veterans. Having served in the military myself, I understand the complexities of PTSD, anxiety, and the difficulties in transitioning to civilian life, and I am here to help veterans find healing and balance.
Additionally, my extensive experience includes working with individuals in recovery from substance abuse, and I provide evaluations and support for those involved in legal matters, including forensic assessments and mitigation strategies. I am dedicated to offering a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their concerns and work toward a brighter, healthier future.
Whether you’re rebuilding trust in a relationship, managing anxiety, seeking recovery from substance use, or needing assistance with forensic or immigration matters, I am here to provide the guidance and support you need to move forward. Together, we can overcome challenges and help you achieve peace, balance, and fulfillment in your life.
