As a clinical social worker with extensive experience in both direct therapy and organizational leadership, I bring a diverse skill set into the therapeutic space. Over the years, I’ve helped organizations build trauma-responsive cultures and trained staff to better understand the complexities of behavioral healthcare. This experience informs my approach, allowing me to offer a holistic and empathetic environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to heal.

I approach each therapeutic relationship with deep respect for the individual’s unique journey and experiences. My practice is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity for healing and growth, and my role is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can uncover their inner strengths and resilience.

In session, I create a warm, inviting space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors at their own pace. Each person is the expert in their own life, and I work collaboratively with clients to honor that expertise while offering tools and strategies to navigate life’s challenges.

I believe in joining clients wherever they are in their journey, respecting their current stage of challenges and growth, and focusing on what matters most to them in that moment. Through exploring past experiences, we can identify patterns and gain insights that help break unproductive cycles. Whether addressing trauma, mental health concerns, or relationship struggles, I guide clients in deepening their understanding of themselves and learning healthier ways to cope with stressors.

In my practice, I draw on a variety of therapeutic interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-focused models. These modalities help clients address mood disorders, stress management issues, trauma, and relationship dynamics. My work is always tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, empowering them to create lasting change and embrace personal growth.
