I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults in both clinical and school-based settings. My work centers on helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and courage. With a warm, trauma-informed approach, I specialize in working with clients seeking support for anxiety, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, conflict resolution, boundary-setting, communication struggles, relationship dynamics, ADHD, emotional regulation, and self-esteem concerns. I also have experience supporting survivors of domestic violence and sex trafficking, providing a safe and empowering space for healing and recovery. In addition to my clinical work, I have led restorative practices initiatives in schools, organizing mediations, repairing harm circles, and accountability dialogues to strengthen community and foster meaningful repair. I support students and educators in shifting from punitive responses to restorative approaches that honor voice, responsibility, and connection. This restorative lens informs my therapeutic work as well—centering dignity, relational repair, and the belief that healing happens in safe, attuned relationships. My clinical lens draws from psychodynamic and interpersonal approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed strategies, mindfulness practices, solution-focused therapy, family systems work, and humanistic/experiential modalities. I integrate these evidence-based tools within a relational and culturally responsive framework, offering an affirming space that honors eachindividual’s unique story—supporting emotional exploration, coping skill development, and resilience-building. Over the years, I’ve served as an individual therapist, group facilitator, school social worker, advocate, and educator. Whether in person or through telehealth, I strive to meet clientswhere they are—emotionally and developmentally—and support their journey in constructing a path forward rooted in self-awareness, healing, and empowerment. Whether you're processing trauma, exploring identity, or seeking tools for meaningful change, I’m here top walk alongside you.
