About My Clients

My clients are caring, resilient people who often put others first and end up feeling drained, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. Many are coping with grief, caregiving stress, or the effects of trauma and unhealthy relationships. In therapy, I offer a calm, supportive space to pause, heal, and reconnect with your needs. My approach is trauma-informed and compassionate, focused on helping you rebuild trust in yourself, set healthy boundaries, and find balance again.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over eight years of experience helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, and depression. My background in hospice care has shaped my ability to hold space for life’s most difficult moments with compassion and calm. I use a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and person-centered approach to help clients feel safe, supported, and understood. My goal is to help you identify patterns, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with your authentic self. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs, blending gentle exploration with practical tools to manage stress, regulate emotions, and build self-trust. I believe healing happens through connection and self-awareness, and that therapy can be a space to rediscover balance, confidence, and peace within yourself.
