I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about social and racial justice, exploring and celebrating people’s identities, examining the systems and structures that impact our lives, and growing through connection and relationship. I have worked in the mental health field for the past nine years, primarily in public education, where I supported and advocated for students, families, and colleagues. I welcome clients from all walks of life. Some of my counseling focus areas include working with older adolescents, adults in their 20s and 30s, individuals navigating challenges related to masculinity and femininity, and individuals working in the human services field (educators, medical professionals, first responders, non-profit workers, etc.).
I consistently celebrate my clients’ strengths, resilience, and the courage it takes to pursue meaningful change in their lives. Practicing from Person-Centered, Family Systems, and Existential Therapy frameworks, I welcome and embrace all aspects of my clients’ identities. I specialize in supporting clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, family dynamics, and/or relationship difficulties. Through deep acceptance, curiosity, and warmth, I collaborate in a transformative process that is always thoughtful and client-centered.
