Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of professional experience in the therapeutic setting. Additionally, I have worked in a variety of environments, such as schools, shelters and hospitals. This has provided me with the opportunity to understand individuals with a multitude backgrounds. Areas of speciality include those with depression, anxiety, low self esteem, trauma and major life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I care deeply about helping others to realize their own potential and acheive a greater understanding of themselves. I work from a strengths based model and truly believe that everyone is the best expert in themselves and with some guidance and support, they can fully realize that.

What you can expect from me

What you can expect from our first session is a collaborative conversation exploring your history and presenting issues. I'm warm and understanding and think it's important for us to build a healthy connection from the start. I believes this helps foster good work where one can feel open, accepted, and cared for.
