Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide compassionate counseling that is designed around what each person may be struggling with. My hope for you is to help enhance well-being, build self-awareness, restore emotional balance and foster healing and acceptance. With over 20 years experience in the field, I have seen how depression, anxiety, PTSD, among many other issues can impact our ability to thrive. I specialize in working through bad news, failures or unwanted changes that we all experience and find a way through with hope and direction.

My approach to therapy

We are not made to do life alone and many times we notice life is managing us more then we are managing life. I partner with each person toward a simpler way to handle the complexities of self, life and relationships. I am here to walk with you on your journey to prevent emotional collapse and put fail safes in place. I integrate evidence-based approaches to handle what keeps coming at us.

What you can expect from me

Starting this counseling journey can feel scary. It is hard to be vulnerable and share about things. I want the first session to ease that fear, build trust and promote a comfortable environment for you to explain your situation and desired outcomes. We will pursue those goals together one step at a time.
