About

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with advanced training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I work with children, adolescents, and adults. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice, with a strong focus on helping people build practical skills they can use in everyday life. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, genuine, and human. I strive to create a space where clients of all ages feel understood and supported, while also learning tools to navigate emotions, relationships, and life’s challenges. DBT is central to my work and supports clients in developing mindfulness, I take an authentic, strengths-based approach, meeting each person where they are and honoring their pace. With children and teens, I work creatively and developmentally; with adults, I focus on insight, skill-building, and balance. Across all ages, my goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and connection.
