About Me

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in Sociology, my approach to therapy rests on a core belief: healing never happens in isolation. It unfolds within the many systems, identities, and expectations that shape our everyday lives. This dual lens, both clinical and sociological, allows me to help clients make sense of their experiences through a perspective that honors both the personal and the collective. In our sessions, we will take time to explore both your inner world (your emotions, thoughts, and patterns) and the outer influences that have shaped how you see yourself and move through life. Together, we will look at how family dynamics, cultural messages, and social systems may have shaped your sense of safety, belonging, and self-worth. 

 

I aim to cultivate a space where all parts of you feel seen, heard, and free to simply be. A space where you are recognized not only for what you hold, but for the gravity and meaning it bears. Many clients share that this kind of therapy helps them feel understood in a deeper, more complete way. Rather than striving to “fix” themselves, clients are encouraged to cultivate greater self-awareness, understanding, and compassion. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all approaches that overlook the depth of your experience. 

Instead, I approach therapy as a collaborative, ongoing relationship rooted in reflection, trust, and the slow, steady process of becoming. I bring a warm, curious, and down-to-earth presence, creating space for both gentle understanding and grounded support.

If you are looking for a therapist who values the full complexity of your story: honoring both your individuality and the context that shaped it, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, healing, and joy
