About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of clinical experience providing mental health services to individuals from adolescence through the later stages in life. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and personality disorders, with many of my clients navigating the long-term effects of childhood trauma, life transitions, and complex emotional patterns.
My approach is grounded in the belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful agent of change. I strive to create a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel respected, understood, and able to explore their experiences openly.
In my work, I integrate person-centered therapy with practical skills and psychoeducation drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Somatic Based approaches that help the client understand the connection between the mind, body, and nervous system. Together, we work to increase self-awareness, develop effective coping strategies, and foster meaningful, lasting change.
My goal is to meet each client where they are while supporting them in building insight, emotional resilience, and a greater sense of agency in their lives.
