- LCSW
I work with individuals navigating mood disorders—including anxiety, depression, grief, and stress—as well as trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma. I aim to create an empathic space while incorporating humor and flexibility to meet you where you are. My style is collaborative and adaptive; I tend to mirror your energy and needs, and will offer a direct push when it feels right. Therapy is about finding comfort and growth, and I’m here to support you through both.
