As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that there comes a time when prioritizing our mental health needs becomes the key to being productive and happy in our day to day lives. Putting ourselves first generally can be a struggle and something that does not come easy, so taking the first step is key. I have had the opportunity to work for the last 20 years as a therapist within a school-based mental health program working with adolescents and teenagers and help them deal with managing anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

Everyone is different and works at their own pace and would benefit from an individualized approach in the therapeutic environment. It is important that we are both respected and communicate openly in the therapeutic relationship. My role will be to listen, challenge, and support you during the process.

Generally the first session is an introductory session in which the focus will be on hearing your story and what goals that you want to achieve in therapy. We will work together to figure out what goals that you would like to attain and will come up with a plan of action to meet these goals. I like to provide a welcoming environment in which you have the opportunity and security to be open and honest to share your story. From there, we will work together on setting goals and making progress with these goals.
