I’m a highly professional and motivated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep commitment to creating environments that are both productive and joyful. My personal mission is to foster spaces where healing, growth, and collaboration thrive—whether in clinical settings, group facilitation, or team dynamics.
I believe in an open-door policy that builds trust and encourages honest, respectful communication. My approach is firm but fair, grounded in empathy and guided by a strong sense of diplomacy. As a wheelchair user, I advocate for accessibility in all aspects of care and communication. I value transparency, humor, and shared purpose—and I’m always looking to connect with professionals who believe that rigor and warmth can coexist.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two years of experience working with high-acuity patients—individuals often labeled as dangerous or unreachable. Supporting these clients is not only my profession, but my passion and greatest joy. I specialize in trauma-informed care, blending DBT, CBT, EMDR, and psychoeducation with creative, metaphor-driven communication.
I’ve continued for over two years my work in outpatient settings, walking alongside people in crisis—those seeking shelter and support from the storms raging in their lives. I strive to be a steady presence, guiding those lost in the dark toward the light that’s always available to them, even when obscured by pain, fear, or stigma.
In group settings, I foster an environment of care, fairness, cohesion, and collaborative problem-solving. My groups are spaces where emotional safety meets honest reflection, and where clients can begin to rewrite their internal narratives. I work with individuals navigating anger, mood disturbances, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, personality disorders, and psychotic features—always with the belief that healing is possible, and dignity is non-negotiable.
