Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years experience working in a variety of settings from community based to private practice. I love helping people tap their potential and move beyond the obstacles that keep them stuck. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, encouraging environment for you to heal and grow. Depression and anxiety are among my specialties, as well as addictions, alcohol use disorder and trauma.

My approach to therapy

I use a mix of modalities. I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) a useful mainstay. Solution Focused approaches work to address the immediate problems in the present, and that's often a good place to start. I use Narrative Therapy and Logotherapy for telling ones story and discovering the meaning in the life you've been given; To incorporate ones deepest beliefs and values into therapy including the religious and spiritual.

What you can expect from me

I'd like to help you to not just endure life’s struggles and challenges on a daily basis, but to effectively navigate life’s hardships with vigor, alacrity and grace. I'd like to help you to better understand yourself while offering practical strategies so you can start feeling better. The effort that you put into therapy now will pay off, and it will be worth it!
