Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience and training working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I work hard to create a safe, non- judgmental, trusting, and warm environment. I help treat issues such as anxiety, depression, social and behavioral challenges, life transitions, trauma, school concerns, career issues, relationship problems, and self-esteem.

My approach to therapy

I work collaboratively with you to help you understand and identify both your strengths and weaknesses, and to work towards creating an overall wellness. My goal is to help you overcome personal challenges and uncover your full potential.

I utilize a variety of creative and engaging therapeutic approaches, such as psychodynamic theories, CBT, mindfulness, and strength based work.

What you can expect from me

In my sessions with clients, I work towards helping my clients deepen their awareness of themselves and to develop the skills and strategies they need to resolve current struggles. I realize that making the decision to reach out to a therapist can be difficult; especially if the experience is unfamiliar. Therapy can be a very personal experience, so it is important to feel like you work well with your therapist. I welcome any questions and look forward to hearing from you.
