Seeking support can be an important first step, and I’m glad you’re here. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and major life transitions, including career shifts and personal loss. As a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW), I take a collaborative, solution-focused approach, creating a safe and supportive space where you can better understand yourself, build effective coping strategies, and feel more supported in your daily life.
