Life can be tough. We all face difficult moments, and it’s natural to feel uncertain about how to move forward. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, facing relationship struggles, or just navigating the highs and lows of everyday life, I’m here to help you through it. Think of me as your sounding board, a source of support, and the person who helps you find clarity when life feels chaotic.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience, I specialize in working with adults, especially those navigating the challenges of college life, early adulthood, and everything that comes with figuring out who you are and what you want. I know it’s not always easy to ask for help, and it’s completely normal to feel uncertain about starting therapy. That’s why I focus on creating a space where you can be yourself—without judgment or pressure to be anything other than who you are. Just real, honest, meaningful conversations that help you move forward and grow.

The relationship between us is key to the healing process. Through our connection, you’ll gain insights into how you relate to others—and to yourself— which can lead to meaningful change and growth. When we work together, we’ll build a relationship grounded in trust, with a personalized approach that fits your needs. My background includes a range of therapeutic techniques, including DBT, Relational Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and even innovative approaches like Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy.

Healing is a process, and your journey is uniquely yours. I’m here to support you as you explore, grow, and take meaningful steps forward. I believe in the strength and resilience that already lives inside you.
