About me
I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) helping teens (16+) and adults feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain in their journey. In a safe, compassionate space, we explore what’s holding you back, uncover your inner strengths, and develop practical tools to foster healing, resilience, and confidence.
In session, I create a calm, compassionate, and safe space where you are truly seen and heard. This space is for individuals ready to face the parts of themselves that carry pain, want to identify emotions that have been ignored, want to explore deep patterns, and take intentional steps toward healing. Together, we’ll notice what’s holding you back, access your inner strengths, and develop practical tools to navigate today while building the life you want for tomorrow.
Healing isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about understanding yourself, dealing with the past, reclaiming your strength, and learning to show up in the world as who you truly are. Every part of your story matters, even the pieces that feel too difficult or confusing to share. In our work, we approach your experiences with curiosity, compassion, and intention—helping you uncover patterns, gently challenge what limits you, and create clarity, resilience, and confidence.
Whether you’re seeking to understand longstanding behaviors or emotions, process past trauma, manage anxiety or overwhelm, work through career/relationship challenges, or gain clarity on your path forward, you don’t have to do it alone. I provide guidance, practical strategies, and a supportive space to help you take meaningful steps toward healing and growth.
Scheduling a session is an invitation to prioritize yourself and your journey. If you’re ready to explore, heal, and step into a life aligned with who you truly are, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Your story matters, and together, with curiosity find clarity for the next chapter.
