I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing trauma-informed care empowering individuals to move beyond survival, and toward a more fulfilling, connected life. I provide services for children aged 5 and older, adolescents, and adults. I utilize an integrated approach that considers your unique needs and goals. Drawing from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we will build practical coping skills, increase psychological flexibility, and cultivate self-compassion. Through narrative processing, we will work to assign meaning to your experiences—transforming painful or confusing chapters into integrated parts of your story. Together we will examine how past experiences influence present dynamics, allowing you to better understand yourself and respond more purposefully focusing not only on symptom relief but on deep, sustainable change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people change their relationship with difficult thoughts, emotions, and internal experiences rather than getting stuck in a constant struggle against them. Instead of focusing only on eliminating distress, ACT helps you build psychological flexibility so you can respond more intentionally and stay connected to what matters most to you. In therapy, we work on noticing thoughts without being ruled by them, making space for uncomfortable emotions, and taking meaningful action guided by your values. ACT can be especially helpful for anxiety, trauma, stress, life transitions, and patterns of avoidance, because it supports both emotional resilience and lasting behavioral change.

When working with clients with ADHD, I take a supportive, practical, and individualized approach. Together, we explore how ADHD affects daily life, including focus, organization, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationships, and follow-through. I help clients build tools that are realistic and sustainable, such as improving routines, managing overwhelm, increasing self-awareness, and developing coping strategies that fit their unique strengths and challenges. I also recognize that many people with ADHD carry shame, frustration, or a long history of feeling misunderstood, so our work includes creating a compassionate space where those experiences can be understood and addressed.
