About
My approach is warm, honest, and grounding—like having a steady, attuned guide who helps you understand what your mind and body have been carrying, and heal at a pace that honors both your strength and your exhaustion.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience providing trauma-informed psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma-related stress, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I often work with clients who feel stuck in patterns shaped by past experiences, chronic stress, or relational challenges and are seeking greater clarity, stability, and confidence.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Southern Adventist University. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based interventions. I integrate culturally responsive and nervous system-informed strategies tailored to each client’s needs.
Clients often come to therapy wanting to feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to cope without becoming overwhelmed. I provide a collaborative and supportive space to build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, develop practical coping skills, and improve boundaries so you can move forward with balance, clarity, and confidence.

As children and adolescents grow, they go through many stages to develop the social skills and emotional maturity needed to lead healthy and happy lives. The difficulties, responsibilities, struggles and moods that accompany growing up and maturing may be fairly easy for some children to deal with, but others struggle with some of these changes.
Sometimes it can be difficult for parents and caregivers to recognize whether a change is caused by the normal challenges in child development or if certain signs and symptoms represent something that is significantly interfering with their child’s happiness and functioning in the family, at school or with their social network. Many children are unable to communicate what they are feeling—or won’t talk to an adult about their problems. It can be disheartening for parents and caregivers to feel something is wrong but not know how to help, watching their children suffer through the many thoughts, feelings and emotions they are going through.
