Navigating Life's Transitions Together

My Clinical Philosophy
Life changes can feel completely disorienting. When you are navigating overwhelming transitions, you deserve a therapeutic space that is both structurally grounded and deeply collaborative.

 

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and founder of SanaSana Mental Health, I provide a calm, steady, and highly resourceful virtual environment designed to help you regain your footing. Together, we will balance structured cognitive tools with personalized, practical care plans to help you move forward.

A Foundation Built on Frontline Experience

My approach is shaped by years of high-stakes clinical experience on the frontlines of mental health. I do not just understand crisis and trauma theoretically—I have navigated them alongside individuals and families in their most vulnerable moments.

 

My background spans working in a hospital emergency department both as a medical social worker and a team member of the behavioral crisis team, delivering long-term therapy in a community mental health agency, and collaborating with the Department of Human Services to advocate for vulnerable families. ​

What to Expect in Virtual Therapy

Because I have operated inside complex medical and social systems, I bring an exceptionally adaptive toolkit to our sessions. We will not just talk about the problems; we will actively map out solutions. Whether you are dealing with a sudden life upheaval, systemic stress, or long-standing trauma, I am here to offer a safe, unwavering space where you feel entirely supported.

Soon to Come: Growing with you

SanaSana Mental Health is expanding our services to better support you and our community. New offerings are on the way so you can access care that fits your needs. Stay tuned as we grow and create more paths to healing together.

Health Insurance Information

At this time, SanaSana Mental Health does not accept health insurance. We understand this can be a barrier and are actively working toward accepting insurance in the future. We are happy to provide a "super-bill" that you can submit to your out-of-network insurance or FSA/HSA reimbursement. Please reach out to us if you have questions about payment options so we can explore what may work best for you.

We Are Here to Listen

Your wellbeing is our priority. Please reach out in your preferred language to begin a conversation about your path to healing.
