Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Supporting women's mental health, reproductive challenges, trauma recovery, and life transitions with mindfulness and compassionate care.
Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping women navigate the unique challenges of reproductive mental health, trauma recovery, and major life transitions. I specialize in supporting women through experiences like pregnancy, postpartum mental health, infertility, pregnancy loss, and the emotional challenges of menopause. I also work with clients facing anxiety, depression, chronic illness, cancer recovery, and college-related transitions. Using mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and self-compassion techniques, I focus on helping you build resilience, manage stress, and feel more grounded. By learning to care for ourselves with kindness, I believe we can lead happier, more meaningful lives. Whether you're processing a major life change or dealing with daily stress, I'm here to listen, support, and guide you through it with personalized care. Together, we'll work toward a lighter, more fulfilling life.
