Great to meet you!

My philosophy in life is to be authentically who I am in all parts of my life. So here I am letting you know how awkward I find it to sell myself professionally in a profile. Keeping it real simple, I am an LCSW with 10 years clinical experience. I have worked in every level of care and with just about every age group. My focus and greatest expertise is in trauma treatment.

My approach to therapy

If I had to describe my style its being real, honest, and direct. I don't sugar coat very often. I feel it is really important to be humble as a therapist though. I have lots of knowledge and understanding on mental health and healing but that does not mean I am an expert on any one individual. I have a lot of experience with many modalities so that allows me to shift how I operate with each person. I work hard to have an open line of communication with my clients so that the service I provide is meeting their needs.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a getting to know each other sessions. I will have lots of questions but will also encourage you to ask me lots of questions. I am providing you a service and you deserve to know what you need to about me in order to feel safe and do the hard work.
