About My Clients

My clients are a diverse bunch of all ages who may be here to work through depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. All I ask is that you come willing to improve your relationship with yourself, and I am here to walk alongside you for the rest. As we work together, my clients are empowered to reflect upon their experiences, reclaim their stories, build new skills, and set future goals.

My Background and Approach

After studying Applied Psychology and Human Development in college, I pursued a Master's in Social Work with a concentration in mental health. Since receiving my MSW, I have worked in in-home and outpatient settings as a therapist and a supervisor. Building relationships with clients and witnessing clients deepen compassion for themselves has been the most rewarding part of my job. I am ever-curious about how parts of us interact with parts of others, and how we can increase in compassion and relationship. My approach is informed by a blend of the framework of Internal Family Systems and behavioral approaches. Starting with a foundation of warmth and trust, I provide a space for individuals to connect with and tend to their inner child. Along the way, we may build new and practical skills to enhance clients' quality of life.
