Great to meet you!

I am a board certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience with the severe and persistent mental illness population, active duty military and adult dependents. I specialize in treating PTSD, depression, anxiety, women's issues, and a solution-focused approach to therapy. Lets work together to create the life you dream about.

My approach to therapy

Asking friends, relatives, and coworkers to listen to our problems is difficult and usually causes more confusion and frustration. I honor the courage it takes to make that first step in meeting with a therapist. It's not easy and I will strive to make the process feel warm, productive, and healing.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
