About My Clients

I’m a Licensed Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with honesty, compassion, and a healthy dose of humor. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, real conversation—one where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in supporting adolescents & adults on the autism spectrum, helping them better understand themselves, build meaningful connections & thrive in environments that may not always feel built for them. My practice also includes working with individuals with eating disorders & addiction, using a harm reduction approach grounded in empathy & respect.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’m especially passionate about serving the underserved and unhoused community, as well as individuals living with chronic health issues who often face both personal and systemic barriers. Whether you're seeking support for a specific issue or simply need someone in your corner, I’m here to walk alongside you.
