Licensed Master Social Worker

Life transitions, unexpected challenges, and family stress can feel overwhelming, especially during vulnerable seasons. I offer a warm, supportive space where individuals and families can process emotions, build coping skills, and feel more grounded as they move through difficult moments.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with a background in pediatric social work and hospital-based case management. I have supported patients and families across Mother/Baby, NICU, Pediatrics, PICU, Labor and Delivery, and Women’s Care units, as well as through acute crisis work. This experience has deeply shaped my compassionate, trauma-informed approach to therapy and my understanding of how stress, grief, and uncertainty affect both individuals and family systems.

I work collaboratively with clients navigating anxiety, adjustment, grief, and major life transitions. I am especially passionate about supporting parents and caregivers, individuals impacted by birth or postpartum experiences, and those balancing their own emotional well-being while caring for others. My style is relational, strength-based, and rooted in empathy; helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Therapy with me is a space to slow down, feel understood, and develop tools for resilience and healing—at your own pace, in a way that honors your unique story.
