As a Licensed Social Worker with a background in intensive healthcare, I bring a deeply compassionate, real-world approach to healing relationships and minds. I specialize in couples therapy, anxiety, and depression, helping both individuals and partners navigate the heavy seasons of life.

I help partners move past chronic conflict, heal from emotional distance, and rebuild trust using evidence-based, collaborative relationship strategies. For individuals battling anxiety, depression, or life-altering curveballs, I provide structured CBT and trauma-informed care to help you discover practical coping tools and and regain your confidence.

Whether you are working to heal your relationship or your own internal peace, you don’t have to walk this path alone. Let's work together to build a resilient, fulfilling future.

I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. I work with teens, adults, and older adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and intergenerational wounds. Together, we'll create a compassionate, judgment-free space to foster healing, build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and help you move toward the life you want.
