Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, discovering what's important to you and what you need to bring out your best self is my main passion. I want to help you achieve your full potential as a professional, parent, student or all the other hats you wear each day. I use a strength-based approach with an emphasis on building a positive mindset to help clients reach their true potential. With an educational focus on human development and a background in business coaching and adolescent mental health I support a range of clients from ages 18-65.

My approach to therapy

I have a relaxed style that will invite you to learn about your own mental health. Building a strong therapeutic partnership is a primary goal for my practice. I believe that outcomes led by you are the most impactful, so self determination is a key value in my sessions. I try to inspire, understand, and support everyone I work with.

What you can expect from me

I want to get to know you! Rapport building and learning about you is my main goal during any first session. We are most successful when we are connected with the ones we work with. Building an authentic connection with you to begin the therapeutic process is my main goal.
