I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and major life transitions, including caregivers, women, and those connected to military life.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker specializing in mood disorders, substance use disorders, and eating disorders. My clients are often high functioning on the outside while struggling internally; managing work, relationships, and responsibilities while battling anxiety, depression, or compulsive coping mechanisms. They want more than symptom management; they're seeking to understand themselves, heal underlying wounds, and build a life that feels sustainable and authentic. 

My approach is collaborative and empowering. I don't tell you what to do. I help you access the wisdom and strength you already have. You'll feel supported in a safe space while also being challenged to grow. Together, we shift your focus from what's struggling to what's capable, helping you recognize your own resilience and possibilities. 

Taking this step toward healing shows you're ready for real change. The next step is reaching out. When we work together, you won't just manage your struggles, you'll heal the roots of them and build a life that feels authentically yours. I'm genuinely excited to walk this journey with you. Let's begin.
