About me

With nearly two decades of experience in the field of social work, and five years of those years within clinical individual therapy, I have been fortunate to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds, with unique sets of challenges and obstacles. Collaborating closely with these communities has played a pivotal role in shaping my fundamental principles and core values, as I have witnessed firsthand the remarkable resilience, vulnerability, and strength inherent in the human spirit. Throughout my professional journey, I have acquired proficiency in providing therapeutic interventions that encompass a wide range of areas, including but not limited to relationships, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, depression and anxiety, mood disorders, as well as life transitions. My eclectic approach centers around assisting clients who seek lasting transformations within themselves, while also addressing immediate goals such as developing effective coping strategies to manage their current concerns, challenges, and barriers.
