Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to helping adults improve their mental health. I love to work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, sad, anxious, indecisive, or have any other painful emotion.

My approach to therapy

I focus on helping clients feel empowered to identify and change thinking and behavior that is not helping them live their best lives. I also have a special passion for working with people with trauma and have been trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy in order to assist clients with trauma in minimizing / alleviating their traumatic symptoms.

What you can expect from me

I believe that my job is helping the client reach his/her/their goals. One of my core beliefs is that you are the expert on you. My job is to help you find a new, healthier path: to rediscover yourself and help you let go of thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that no longer serve you.
