About

I am a master’s-level social work intern with a focus on children and adolescents. I approach therapy as a relational, attuned process that honors emotions, thoughts, and each client’s unique way of making sense of the world. I bring a calm, grounded presence into the room while also making space for humor, curiosity, and play. I believe we are always communicating something meaningful, even when it comes out sideways, loudly, or without words.

I work from a trauma-informed care perspective and enjoy integrating play therapy alongside CBT for teens to help children and teens better understand and manage big feelings. I am comfortable with emotional intensity, vulnerability, and the messiness that can come with healing, and I strive to remain steady and supportive when things feel overwhelming. I have a strong affinity for working with children who feel misunderstood, as well as parents navigating the challenges of supporting their child while holding concerns about their well-being. I value co-regulation, honesty, and patience, and I aim to create a space where clients feel respected, protected, and genuinely heard.
