My passion for mental health equity, holistic care, and improvement towards the well-being of the community is what initially led to a career in social work. I earned my Master’s Degree at Dominican University, where I developed the clinical skills and treatment modalities to prepare me to work with a diverse population (children, adolescents, and adults). As a Licensed Social Worker, I empower clients to achieve mental wellness, cope with challenges, and improve quality of life. I value the importance of understanding the intersecting social identities and the systemic barriers in place that can impact and create obstacles in one’s life.

I utilize a variety of skills and evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-Based approaches, Motivational Interviewing, Solutions Focused, and Person-Centered approaches. I look forward to collaborating with each of my clients on the approach that best fits their individual needs. I specialize in Anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, Behavioral/Defiance Issues, Depression, Mood Disorders, Relationship issues, Family Conflicts, Trauma, Grief and Life transitions, Women’s issues, and Body Positivity/Body Image issues.

My philosophy is rooted towards the values of empathy and empowerment through the journey of one’s mental health. I strive to foster a safe and non-judgmental space, a collaborative partnership, and growth with clients. My goal is to develop a personalized plan and strategies to help you achieve your goals and reach mental wellness.

In my personal life, I am a loving wife and mother. I love spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy reading, music, art, and Olympic weightlifting.
