Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have a Doctorate of Social Work. I have deep commitment to educating individuals as they journey from classroom to field experience. I have close to 20 years of practicing in social services.

My approach to therapy

Working as a therapist is one of the best things I’ve done. I enjoy building connections, as well as witnessing client’s growth, healing, and the breakthrough “a-ha” moments.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a welcoming, non-judgmental space where you can share your story at your own pace. Together, we will outline your primary goals and identify actionable next steps to ensure you leave feeling supported and equipped with clear, manageable strategies.
