Great to meet you!

I am a clinical social worker with background in substance abuse treatment and mental health. I really enjoy working with clients and working towards their "aha moments". Therapy is a safe space to grow and "let down your hair" so to speak. I never want our time together to be a power struggle/dynamic but rather a place where you can speak your mind and not feel judged.

My approach to therapy

I like to think of therapy as collaborative movement towards a healthier you. Your story matters. Let's try to make sense of it together. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing and various treatment interventions around trauma. I am a strong proponent of trauma-informed care.

What you can expect from me

My hope in meeting with you is that you will feel empowered to heal. I hope that you can visualize the benefits of building a therapeutic alliance with someone who is cheering you on in this journey of life. I look forward to working with you, feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
