About Me and My Approach

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping young adults and adults navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in working with individuals who experience anxiety, which often shows up as overanalyzing, emotional reactivity, avoidance, and/or obsessive thinking—patterns that can lead to conflict both in relationships and within oneself. I also have a passion for supporting men and women through the complexities of early parenthood, a time when anxiety and stress can feel especially overwhelming.

My approach is holistic, considering all aspects of your well-being. I integrate evidence-based techniques like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you heal, build resilience, and foster a deeper connection with yourself.

I believe that all of us face hardships and challenges, from minor wounds to more significant traumas. In the aftermath of painful experiences, it's natural to build protective walls as a way to shield ourselves from further harm. While these defenses can offer temporary relief, they often lose their effectiveness over time or even lead to new difficulties. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where we can explore the areas causing you distress and collaborate on developing more effective coping strategies. My role is not to provide something you lack, but to help you reconnect with the strength and inner resources you already possess.

I have had the privilege of treating adults in a variety of settings for over 14 years. I am currently working at the Eleven Eleven Wellness Center, a unique functional medicine practice that combines Western medicine with alternative therapies.
