Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience in the human services and mental health field. My clinical history includes working in acute, in-patient settings, in-home and community-based settings, and as an outpatient therapist.

My approach to therapy

I currently work with anxiety disorders, women’s issues, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, stresses of parenthood, identity issues, life transitions, adult attachment issues, and all degrees of trauma (little t's and big T's:). I am a certified EMDR (Eye-movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist and utilize this treatment modality as my primary framework, while also incorporating Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based interventions.

What you can expect from me

I strive to utilize a compassionate and casual approach with my clients with the primary intent of creating a completely non-judgmental and collaborative atmosphere for my clients to feel safe and comfortable in the therapy session.
