Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Online Therapy
Welcome! As a holistically focused Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I aim to work alongside my clients in building their confidence and empowering them to take an active role in improving their relationships and overall wellbeing. I work with a range of adults who are experiencing challenges ranging from relationship challenges, to low self-esteem, to coping with stress, or symptoms of anxiety and depression. As a clinician who identifies as a woman of color, I work to understand my clients through a culturally competent lens, considering how race, culture, identity, biology and family have shaped their unique experiences and lives. Utilizing approaches such as CBT, EFT, and Mindfulness as well as integrating physical and nutritional components, I foster an environment that treats the whole person and emphasizes the inextricable link between our social, physical and mental health. It is my goal to work deeply with clients to identify and implement integrative and actionable lifestyle choices that will improve overall well-being as well as the ability to create and sustain healthy relationships with others. I believe that success is not only treating the symptoms, but moving beyond that to create a sustainable lifestyle that addresses the root causes of mental health issues and allows individuals to flourish and thrive. I encourage my clients to live with intention, curiosity, playfulness, and connectedness and support individuals in becoming their most healthy, empowered and abundant selves.

Psychotherapist
Online & In-Person
I help anxious high achievers build awareness of their overactive nervous systems in order to calm the overwhelm and smother the burn out. Together, we will practice body-based strategies to calm the fight/flight responses, process & unpack the stories from your past using your body as a guide and develop a long-lasting plan for you to become self-sufficient in your own healing. I’m here to listen, validate, and facilitate. With somatic-based therapy, you will learn what it means to drop into your body, get curious about sensations, and embody the tools that finally keep burnout and overwhelm at bay. You are more than just tired. You’re burnt to a crisp - overwhelmed by the daily slog of work, family, and relationships. What used to fill your cup and bring you joy are now things that just drain your battery. Thinking about that never ending to-do list has left you overwhelmed and feeling defeated. But it’s more than just a mindset for you right now. You feel it in your body. The racing heartbeat, sweaty palms, the ache in the pit of your stomach. You’re having so many overwhelming sensations and feelings, you feel out of control. You know all the things that should make it better, but you feel immobilized; unable to shift into action. Or maybe you’ve tried talk therapy before, only to find that now that the story has been processed, you still don’t feel different. If you are ready to take control of your body & your life, contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to discover how therapy with a plan and the right therapist can make the difference in how to feel right now and beyond.
