I’m a Social Worker and Psychotherapist. At the heart of my practice is a deep belief in collaboration, empowerment, and connection. I’m dedicated to working with children, adolescents, young adults and their families.
My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, strength-based, and holistic care. I specialize in supporting those who have experienced complex and developmental trauma, and I’m committed to creating safe, nurturing spaces where clients feel seen, heard, and supported in making meaningful changes. I understand the importance of emotional safety and consistent collaboration to better understand your challenges and co-create personalized, realistic plans for healing and growth.
In my work, I invite individuals to slow down and tune into what their body might be communicating—whether it’s a need for rest, safety, or connection. I help individuals gently explore how their thoughts, feelings, and emotions are interconnected and how these influence their daily experiences. I’m deeply interested in the stories we carry: the ones we’ve inherited, the ones we’ve come to believe, and the ones we have the power to rewrite as our lives evolve.
Whether we’re building coping skills, reducing emotional distress, or fostering greater confidence and resilience, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and care.
