As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with many years of experience, I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, adults and families navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful, fulfilling lives. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and have extensive experience supporting individuals and families dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, suicidality, and personality disorders.
My approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that each person is unique and deserves a treatment path tailored to their individual needs. I work closely with my clients to foster growth, build resilience, and promote emotional well-being in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space.
I am committed to practicing with cultural humility and competence, honoring the diverse identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences of those I serve. Whether working with a child learning emotional regulation, a teen navigating identity and relationships, or an adult working through trauma and life transitions, I bring compassion, clinical expertise, and a deep respect for the therapeutic journey.
“As a therapist, my role is to walk alongside you- not to lead or follow, but to help you uncover the resilience and wisdom already within you.”
