Welcome to my practice. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and family therapist, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's complexities with greater ease and understanding.
My particular expertise lies in supporting my clients in developing a stronger sense of self and in cultivating more effective communication skills with others. I believe that by improving our ability to understand our own needs and learning to communicate more openly with others, we can drastically strengthen our own- sense of well-being and improve our personal and professional relationships.
In addition, I have a strong background in supporting blended families and understand the unique challenges they face. I work to provide culturally sensitive care that acknowledges the unique experiences and challenges different individuals, families, and communities face and incorporate a deep sense of cultural humility into my practice.

At the heart of my practice is a fundamental belief: there is nothing that cannot be expressed when we approach conversations with kindness and respect. Developing a stronger sense of self and cultivating effective communication skills allows you to find your voice, reclaim your power, and feel more empowered in your life and your relationships.
Whether you're struggling with your mental health, having trouble with family dynamics, seeking to improve your relationships, or facing professional challenges, I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can explore what matters to you. No concern is too big or too small – if it impacts your well-being, there are steps we can take to help manage whatever it is you are struggling with.
Beyond therapy for individuals and families, I offer specialized support for professional development, including interviewing skills and strategies for navigating challenging workplace dynamics.
My approach helps clients develop effective communication skills that transcend all relationships, both personal and professional, enabling them to feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I work with clients to help them feel both valued and valuable at their places of work, as one’s experience at work can play a major role in one's sense of well-being and mental health.
My therapeutic approach draws from a rich toolbox of evidence-based methodologies, which allows me to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs. Among them are solutions-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, strength-based approaches, family systems theory, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. EMDR is particularly powerful for healing from emotional distress and trauma, using bilateral stimulation – typically guided eye movements or other forms of rhythmic left-right stimulation – while processing difficult memories or experiences. This approach helps the brain process challenging experiences more effectively, allowing for deep healing and integration. Through our work together, we will draw from multiple therapeutic approaches and will find the combination that works best for your specific situation and goals.
Everyone struggles at various points in their lives. This does not mean that struggling has to become your normal state of being. You are right to get help. Therapy can be an incredibly powerful tool to help you, individually or as a couple. Newly learned communication skills can increase resilience, cultivate personal strengths, and help you tackle challenges head-on. Sometimes, even a few small, practical changes can create real, meaningful change in your life.
In fact, it can be very warm, heartfelt, honest, even funny. My personal mission is for you to feel increasingly resilient, content, and empowered in your life. With warmth, humor, and humility, I invite you to contact me. Together, we will help you develop new skills to navigate and heal from the rough waters.
