Great to meet you!

As a board-certified therapist with over 25 years of experience, I have developed an integrative approach to counseling that enhances the skills, resilience, capacity, and strength of the people I work with. I believe everyone can recover, heal, grow, and reach a higher emotional and mental well-being. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I deeply desire to help people overcome obstacles and reach their health goals.

My approach to therapy

Everybody is unique and learning about you will help build a unique therapy experience that is meaningful and effective. I am trained in EMDR, Behavioral Sleep Medicine, and Culinary Medicine in addition to be trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT).

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
