I am a compassionate mental health therapist and Licensed Social Worker who earned my Master of Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis, specializing in mental health practice. I am deeply committed to supporting children, adolescents, adults, and older adults as they navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic illness, and emotional dysregulation.
