About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a commitment to helping clients navigate their healing journeys and hold certifications as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC). With additional certifications as a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider (C-PD), a provider certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT), and an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), I offer an approach that empowers individuals to understand their challenges and build resilience. My experience includes working with people from diverse backgrounds and age groups, with a focus on managing trauma and stress responses, navigating life transitions, and fostering personal growth.
I grew up in an environment where discussions about mental health were virtually nonexistent; this sparked an early interest in the unspoken challenges I observed. As a dual major in psychology and sociology, my coursework was impactful, and the lessons continued in graduate school, internships, specialized trauma-informed care courses, and other research areas in the field. I remain deeply passionate about assisting clients in their healing from mental injury and mental challenges; providing support in this area is crucial, as it can affect every facet of human existence.
