(she/her)
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience supporting teens, adolescents, and adults in community mental health and school-based settings. I help clients build the skills to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence, balance, and self-compassion. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, setting boundaries, trauma, or harsh self-criticism, I offer a compassionate, supportive space where you can gain insight, build resilience, and develop practical tools that foster lasting change. My approach integrates clinical expertise with a holistic understanding of the connection between mind, body, and emotions. As a trained Kripalu Yoga Teacher and Reiki Level II practitioner, my contemplative trainings inform my clinical practice and allow me to incorporate mind-body approaches that support overall wellness when aligned with your goals and preferences.
In your first session, we’ll begin building a foundation for our work together by getting to know each other, exploring your story, what brings you to therapy, and the goals you’d like to work toward. We’ll review your intake information, discuss what has helped (or hasn’t), identify patterns and strengths, and begin creating a treatment plan that aligns with your needs and preferences. You’ll have space to ask questions and share what feels most important as we determine how therapy can best support you. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer sense of the path forward and the steps toward the changes you’re seeking.
My approach is rooted in empathy, intuition, warmth, and deep care, allowing me to meet you with genuine presence and a compassionate understanding of your unique experience. I strive to create a space where you feel supported, encouraged, and truly seen as you explore your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, you’re looking for a collaborative therapeutic relationship where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow. You value being an active participant in your therapy, working together to identify your goals, build practical tools, and create meaningful, lasting change. You’re ready to deepen your self-awareness, strengthen self-compassion, and approach life’s challenges with greater intention and resilience.
Other specialties
I identify as
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
My practice bridges the practical structure of DBT with a thoughtful, contemplative lens to support your whole self. By merging proven clinical tools with a grounded, holistic perspective, we establish a reliable path toward meaningful change. Together, we focus on creating more stability and ease in your life.
Mind-body approach
I take a mind-body approach to therapy, recognizing that emotional well-being is shaped by the connection between our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviors. Alongside evidence-based strategies, I integrate mindfulness and contemplative practices to help you better understand your internal experiences and respond to them with greater awareness and intention. This may include learning to notice how stress and emotions show up in your body, developing skills to regulate your nervous system, and practicing techniques that help you feel more grounded and present. By strengthening the connection between mind and body, therapy becomes not only a space for insight, but also an opportunity to build resilience, foster self-compassion, and create lasting, meaningful change.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is an important part of my therapeutic approach and complements the DBT skills we may practice together. In fact, mindfulness is one of the four core skill areas in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, serving as the foundation for developing greater emotional awareness and intentional action. Together, we'll practice slowing down, noticing your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations with curiosity, and responding to life's challenges with greater intention rather than reacting on autopilot. This may include brief mindfulness exercises, grounding techniques, or other contemplative practices that help you feel more present and connected. Over time, these skills can strengthen self-awareness, build emotional resilience, and foster greater self-compassion both in and outside of therapy.
Trauma Informed Care
My trauma-informed approach recognizes that your experiences shape the way you understand yourself, relate to others, and navigate the world. I prioritize creating a space grounded in safety, trust, and collaboration, where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, build on your strengths, and develop tools that support healing and growth.
