About My Clients

My ideal clients are individuals or couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, but still hold hope that things can change. You might be carrying pain from the past, feeling lost in your relationship, or unsure how to cope anymore. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to start. I work best with people who want honesty, warmth, and a space where they don’t have to pretend.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 16 years of experience supporting teens, adolescents, and adults from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. I hold a Master’s in Social Work and a Master’s in Special Education, which allows me to bring a deep understanding of emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges into my work. My clients come to therapy for many reasons: anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, relationship difficulties, emotional dysregulation, and major life transitions. Many feel overwhelmed by expectations, fear of failure, or unresolved pain from the past. I specialize in trauma and couples therapy, and I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and each other. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you process pain, build insight, and move toward meaningful change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Seeking therapy is a bold and courageous step. It means you’re ready to pause, reflect, and take a deeper look at what isn’t working in your life, and explore what healing and growth could look like. Change isn’t easy. It challenges old patterns, invites discomfort, and pushes us to try new ways of thinking, feeling, and being. But when you show up for yourself, consistently and with intention, you open the door to resilience, transformation, and a renewed sense of well-being. You don’t have to do it alone.
