My communication style

My communication style is down-to-earth, direct, and compassionate. I hold space without judgment, while also gently challenging unhelpful patterns when needed. Whether we’re working through something heavy or exploring small shifts, I make sure you feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a social worker because I wanted to help people feel seen, safe, and empowered—especially those navigating complex life experiences. Over the years, I’ve worked in schools, juvenile justice, and public mental health systems, which has deepened my commitment to trauma-informed care and social justice.

My goals for you

We start by identifying what matters most to you—whether it’s reducing anxiety, building confidence, healing from trauma, or improving relationships. I take a collaborative approach to goal-setting and check in regularly to make sure our work stays aligned with your needs. I help you develop insight, build coping strategies.

Our first session

In our first session, I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping to get out of it. We’ll explore your concerns, your story, and any goals you want to work on together. I’ll also answer any questions you have about the therapy process. It’s important to me that you feel comfortable and not rushed.

I identify as...
