Here to Help You Heal
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), my approach is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, trauma-informed care, and somatic practices. This means we’ll work both on understanding the deeper roots of your struggles and developing practical tools for symptom relief and emotional regulation. I often incorporate mindfulness to help clients feel more grounded and present.
I am especially interested in how emotional processing, empathy and communication styles shape relationships. In our work together, I aim to create a collaborative environment that is supportive, direct, and engaging. I don’t sit back passively—I ask questions, offer reflections, and challenge you to test new possibilities. Clients who thrive with me are motivated not only to reduce distress but also to cultivate self-understanding, new perspectives, and a more authentic life.
Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
Through my own self-exploration, I developed a strong interest in the neuroscience of the brain, empathy, and human connection—what allows us to feel understood, why we repeat certain patterns, and what helps us change. Psychology became a natural path forward, offering me a way to combine both personal insight and intellectual curiosity.
Over time, what began as a desire to understand myself and others has grown into a professional calling: to provide a space where people can explore their inner worlds and find relief from suffering.
My Approach to Care
My approach is integrative drawing from psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—addresses both dimensions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides a structured way to understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. Together, we identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop skills for managing anxiety, depression, or intrusive thoughts. CBT is problem-focused and evidence-based, offering strategies you can apply right away in your daily life.
For patients with trauma histories, I incorporate trauma-informed care and somatic approaches. Trauma is not only held in memory but also in the body—through hyperarousal, tension, or a sense of being “on guard.” Somatic therapy helps bring awareness to these physical responses, releasing stored stress and creating a greater sense of safety and regulation in the nervous system.
Personal Interests
Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy a wide range of hobbies. Art is a favorite pastime, and you’ll often find me researching attending gallery openings and museum exhibitions. I also love to get moving with yoga/kundalini yoga and dance – or keeping my mind active with a game of chess. When I’m not doing any of these, I’m spending quality time with friends and family.
