I am an independently licensed clinical social worker with seven years of post-grad experience. I show up in the therapy room with warmth and compassion, and I work to create a safe and inclusive space for everyone.
I have experience working with anxiety, depression, substance use, perfectionism, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, relationship problems, and chronic health issues. I have specialized training in trauma, eating disorders and domestic violence.
I use a strengths-based approach and use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindful Self-Compassion (MS-C) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) in sessions. All of these involve both changing behaviors and using mindfulness. I encourage processing emotions and taking action to help you live a life aligned with your values. My goal is to empower you see your inner strength and build skills to navigate life’s challenges, both in college and after.
In my free time I enjoy reading, traveling and spending time with loved ones.
