About

I am a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern with 24 years of experience supporting trauma survivors, including those affected by sexual violence, intimate partner violence, stalking, and homicide. I also work with clients managing anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for each client’s journey. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where humor, vulnerability, and healing can coexist as clients move toward a more fulfilling life.

My integrative approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, crisis intervention theory, and a strengths-based perspective. I am trained in eye movement desensitization reprocessing and have experience supporting individuals and caregivers in the neurodivergent community.
