Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 20 years of experience. I believe that healing is a process of nurturing what already lives within you. Whether you are facing stressors, anxiety, parenting stress, conflict, finding your assertive voice and boundaries or simply looking for clarity; I will walk beside you on this journey. I have experience with anxiety, life phase transitions, school related difficulties, navigating parenting, self-esteem, and family/relationship conflict. My experiences have come from working with a diverse population of individuals of all ages across settings including community agencies, hospitals, military installations, and private practice.

My approach to therapy

I am here to offer the space for growth through the use of an individualize treatment approach in a warm and supportive way rooted in compassion and trust. I incorporate a combination of approaches (systems, CBT, strengths-based, brief solution focused, mindfulness) in order to best suit my client's needs. I am excited to go on this healing journey with you!

What you can expect from me

My hope is for a client to walk away from session feeling empowered to work on personal goals as well as having a plan and tools for making those positive steps forward. I am flexible and open to answering questions and discussing any topics as well as navigating barriers to find the most helpful coping tools for that individual. I will challenge a client to think about something in a different way, but I will not force them to discuss a topic or make a change before they are ready for it.
