About Me

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) specializing in family therapy, I help individuals, couples, and families build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. With particular expertise in blended families, I believe that the key to contentment lies in mindful communication guided by kindness and respect. My therapeutic approach draws from a rich toolbox of evidence-based methodologies, including solutions-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, strength-based approaches, family systems theory, and EMDR therapy. By tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs, we work together to process trauma, manage anxiety, heal relationships, and build resilience. I also offer specialized support for professional development, including interview skills coaching and workplace relationship navigation. Whether you're dealing with family dynamics, career challenges, or processing trauma, I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can explore what matters to you.
