Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have over 20 years experience. I focus on helping people manage daily life stresses, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Therapy is a collaborative journey that will help you learn new ways to manage stress.

My approach to therapy

I use a person centered, solution focused approach. We will work together to understand patterns that keep you feeling stuck, build skills to manage your emotions, and build healthy relationships. I use evidenced based approaches Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and EMDR. I believe in a holistic approach and use mindfulness in therapy.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where you can discuss what brought you to therapy. We will discuss expectations for therapy and begin to develop goals to address the changes you want to make.
