Great to meet you!

Welcome, I am so glad you are here! As a clinical social work practitioner, I have the privilege of working with clients on their path to healing. My primary specialty is in Adult Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder-along with the mood disorders and past traumas that can frequently co-occur with the diagnosis. My clients and I work together to develop goals that are achievable and exciting. I believe that every individual has the ability to improve the quality of their mental health.

My approach to therapy

Studies demonstrate that the therapist-client relationship is paramount to specific treatment modalities. My clinical experience includes working with diverse range of symptoms, challenges and life experiences. I utilize different therapeutic approaches including, and not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Trauma Focused Therapy.

What you can expect from me

During our initial meeting we discuss concerns and symptoms and we start to develop a treatment plan. My goal is to have my clients leave with a helpful tool after our first session. We want to jumpstart the healing process right from the very beginning.
