About me

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 7 years of experience in the field. I have specific expertise in anxiety, addiction, family conflict, and healing from trauma.

Does this sound familiar?
- Navigating life's transitions and are seeking support along the way
- Feeling stressed or overwhelmed with everything on your plate
- Feeling sad and/or anxious more than you want
- Seeking to break cycles of interpersonal and/or intergenerational trauma

I am passionate about helping others find their passions, goals, and purpose in life. I approach my work as a therapist with openness, curiosity, and warmth. My goal is to meet you wherever you're at and support you in your journey toward a happier, healthier, and more holistically well version of yourself.

By working with me, you can expect to increase your self-confidence, personal insight, and emotional understanding while building a stronger sense of meaning and purpose in life and overcoming challenges from the past.
