About My Clients

I work with women who are navigating pregnancy, postpartum changes, trauma, identity development, and major life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. I provide a supportive, trauma-informed space where we can explore your experiences, build emotional tools, strengthen self-worth, and help you reconnect with who you are and the life you want to create.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with training in both clinical social work and public health, which allows me to approach mental health through a holistic lens that considers the emotional, relational, and environmental factors that shape well-being. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused interventions. I specialize in supporting women who are navigating pregnancy, postpartum transitions, trauma recovery, identity development, and major life changes. Many of my clients are working to reconnect with themselves, rebuild self-confidence, and create healthier relationships after difficult experiences. In therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. Together we explore your experiences, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools that help you heal.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that healing happens in spaces where people feel safe, respected, and truly understood. My work is rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and the belief that every person deserves access to supportive and affirming mental health care. I recognize that our identities, life experiences, family systems, and cultural backgrounds shape how we experience the world. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable exploring these parts of themselves without judgment. My approach is collaborative. I view therapy as a partnership where your voice, experiences, and goals guide the process. Whether you are navigating motherhood, healing from trauma, or seeking clarity during a life transition, my goal is to support you in building greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence in your healing journey.
