About

If you're feeling stuck in relationships, overwhelmed by past experiences, or simply unsure of how to move forward, you're not alone. I'm a warm, caring therapist who creates a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back and begin to heal. My work centers on relationships—both with others and with yourself. Whether you're navigating a difficult partnership, working through family dynamics, or processing trauma, I believe in the power of connection as a pathway to growth. Together, we’ll build a trusting therapeutic relationship that allows for openness, insight, and meaningful change. I specialize in helping adults who have experienced trauma, attachment wounds, or ongoing relationship struggles. My style is compassionate, grounded, and collaborative. I meet you where you are—with no judgment—and walk with you toward the life and relationships you truly want. Taking the first step is often the hardest, but it’s also the most courageous. If you're ready to feel more connected, confident, and whole, I’m here to help. Specialties: I help clients navigate anxiety, stress, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Treatment may involve building coping skills, increasing self-awareness, exploring patterns rooted in past experiences, and developing healthier ways of thinking and relating to others. Credentials & Experience: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping adults, teens and families navigate life's challenges.

"I incorporate mindfulness and attachment-based approaches to support clients in slowing down, increasing self-awareness, and healing relational patterns, so they can feel more grounded, connected and secure."
