My Story

My passion is to help everyone I possibly can, wherever they are in their journey. and I strive to meet each client with empathy, patience, and respect. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and mental health concerns. Many of the individuals I support are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or substance use, and are looking for guidance as they work toward greater balance and self-understanding. Whether you’re a parent seeking support for your child or an adult facing a season of change, I’m here to help you or your loved one feel heard, empowered, and supported.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each person’s unique experience. I integrate evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and person-centered techniques to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where meaningful growth can happen. I hold an associate’s degree in Special Needs Development and am a Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW). My background includes four years working with children in educational settings and an internship in an inpatient substance use facility, where I facilitated psychoeducation groups and provided individual therapy. It’s an honor to walk alongside clients on their path to healing, and I would be glad to connect if you’re ready to take that next step.
