I am a dedicated social worker committed to helping individuals recognize their strengths and true resiliency. I strive to provide the tools and resources needed to navigate difficult times and to find positivity even in challenging situations. My work focuses deeply on supporting individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, and on helping them develop coping skills that strengthen their overall resilience. I look forward to building a strong, trusting relationship where individuals feel safe and comfortable bringing any concerns to our time together. Together, we will work toward meaningful solutions that create a hopeful and inspiring new beginning for anyone facing adversity. My primary goal is to offer support and empower every individual by the end of our work together. Each person I meet fuels my passion and dedication to the mental health field, and I remain committed to finding solutions and providing ongoing support for all.
