Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years experience in the mental health field. Much of my background includes community mental health and school-based counseling services to teens for various concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, coping with substance abuse within the family, school avoidance, self-esteem, suicidality, self-harm behaviors, and more. In the last 5 years I have added a specialty in processing trauma with adults and teens in private practice.

My approach to therapy

Sharing your story takes courage. I utilize a strengths-based approach to develop client-centered goals that implement evidence-based practices of CBT or CPT based on your specific needs.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a safe space where you can be your authentic self. Once a trusting therapeutic relationship is formed, clients can expect to learn ways to increase self-awareness in order to learn skills to utilize outside of session. I believe in the power of vulnerability to make meaningful connections, find acceptance, and hope for change. I would consider it a privilege to begin this journey with you.
