I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work since 2013 and am licensed in multiple states. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and my role is to support and guide the therapeutic process with respect and collaboration.I have worked in both private practice and clinical settings since 2016. My professional background also includes first responder experience, including serving as a traveling acute medical social worker during the COVID-19 pandemic. Following this, I worked internationally in South Korea at Camp Humphreys, where I gained insight into the lived experiences of active-duty service members. I extend my gratitude to those who have served.I recognize that life can often feel overwhelming or uncertain. You do not have to navigate these experiences alone. I aim to provide a grounded, supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges safely and at their own pace.

My clinical orientation is primarily rooted in attachment theory, with integration of existential perspectives when helpful in understanding meaning, identity, and life experiences. I value both structure and exploration in the therapeutic process.

I strive to create a safe and contained therapeutic space where clients can explore themselves with autonomy. I may offer clinical insight, diagnostic impressions, and recommendations when appropriate, or simply provide a supportive presence. My role adapts to the needs of each client, whether that involves active feedback, reflection, or attentive listening.

I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive presentations, adjustment disorders, gender dysphoria, and eating-related concerns.

I also support clients navigating life transitions, childhood trauma, interpersonal difficulties, intrusive thoughts, behavioral patterns, self-esteem challenges, and issues related to identity and purpose.

My therapeutic approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices.

If you believe you may benefit from working together, I would be glad to connect with you for an initial session.
