WELCOME!

SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE!

Welcome to My Practice!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and dedicated mental health therapist. I specialize in supporting adults aged 25 and older who are navigating the challenges of anxiety. Whether you’re experiencing physiological symptoms like rapid heartbeat, stomach bloating, or muscle tension, or battling intrusive thoughts such as persistent worries or fears, you’re not alone—and I’m here to help.

My approach is focused on equipping you with tools and strategies to:
✅ Manage your anxiety and reduce its physical and emotional impact
✅ Develop rational, compassionate thought patterns to ease intrusive thoughts
✅ Boost your daily energy levels and improve the quality of your sleep
✅ Enhance your self-care routines and strengthen your relationships

Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you regain balance, feel more grounded, and move toward the life you truly want to enjoy.

A little about me:

I have been in this field since a young age. In the 6th grade, my mom took me to soup kitchens and senior homes to volunteer, and I found herself in awe of peoples' strength. From then on, I knew exactly what I wanted to do...continue to support individuals strength, continue to build them up!

I have been licensed since 2014 and have worked in various capacities, including group homes, outpatient as a child Therapist, dual diagnosis treatment centers, family's homes, transitional age youth programs, and currently, my private practice via telehealth.

I am Certified in Nutrition for Mental Health and love to support individuals in identifying what foods and supplements work for their bodies to balance moods, hormones, and energy levels.

I am also a Marriage Coach, providing a 10 week course with 1:1 coaching, helping busy married couples reconnect emotionally & reignite their marriage, so that they avoid separation or divorce. I am Certified in EFT for Couples (Emotionally Focused Therapy), working on effective communication, emotional connection, and appreciation.

Looking forward to speaking with you!!!
