Great to meet you!

I have been working in the field of mental health and substance abuse for 10 years. I have a masters degree and license in social work and I enjoy working with families.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My most common treatment approach is CBT and Solution Focused Therapy. My intervention style is two way conversation. I always have more questions to help the client find their own solution.

What you can expect from our first session

After an interactive session with me, you can expect to leave with a deeper understanding of the presenting problem, as well as coping skills.
