I believe that meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and accepted. My goal is to create a nonjudgmental, affirming, and culturally responsive space where clients can openly explore their experiences, challenges, and goals. I strive to meet each person with curiosity, compassion, and respect, recognizing that every individual’s story is unique.
I have experience working with clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationships concerns, trauma and stress. also have a particular interest in supporting individuals impacted by adoption, as well as those navigating the emotional and lifestyle changes that can accompany bariatric surgery and other significant life transitions. I am committed to providing inclusive care that honors each client’s values, identities, and lived experiences.
I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of New England. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, bariatric journey, trauma, stress, or personal growth, I look forward to partnering with you to build insight, resilience, and meaningful change.
