Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that prioritizing affordably mental health is key to living a stable and fulfilled life. I have over a decade of experience treating clients with anxiety, depression grief and loss and trauma and abuse. I believe that clients are the experts of their own stories and through therapy one can overcome challenges and live a happier life.

My approach to therapy

primarily focus on a strength-based therapy approach and provide coping skills for clients dealing with severe anxiety and panic attacks. I work with individuals to identify what methods work best for them.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together you will have a safe place to share your story and develop the goals you are seeking in therapy. I strive in creating a warm, nonjudgemental and safe atmosphere, where you can be vulnerable and also secure. From there we will continue to make achievable goals to live a happier life.
