Life’s transitions, relationships, and unexpected challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about the path forward. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, attachment and relationship concerns, trauma, grief and loss, parenting stress, professional burnout, and significant life transitions. Whether you are processing painful experiences from the past or seeking greater balance, meaning, and connection in your present life, I strive to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and care.

As a strength-based therapist, I believe that every person possesses inherent worth, dignity, and the capacity for growth and healing. I view each individual as a unique person whose experiences have shaped them but do not define or limit them. My work is grounded in respect, authenticity, and a commitment to meeting clients exactly where they are.

I believe healing happens within relationships where people feel safe enough to be fully themselves. My goal is to help clients reconnect with their strengths, make meaning of their experiences, and move toward lives that feel more grounded, authentic, and fulfilling.

I am a Licensed Limited Master Social Worker (LLMSW) and have been working in the field of social work since 2010. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist and welcome individuals of all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences.
