(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)
As your therapist, I aim to nurture an environment where you feel heard, validated, and free to express your true self.
Are you a teen or an adult navigating major life transitions, or perhaps a college student searching for support? Or maybe, you're on a journey to enhance your self-esteem and reduce anxiety and depression. As your therapist, I aim to nurture an environment where you feel heard, validated, and free to express your true self. Together, we'll focus on self-compassion, acceptance, and the practical steps needed to attain your goals, all while improving your overall quality of life. To offer you the best support, I utilize holistic therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Talk Therapy. Recognizing that each person's journey is as unique as they are, I customize my approach to align with your needs and circumstances.
