Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am dedicated to supporting individuals in their pursuit of personal growth and well-being. My primary objective is to provide a confidential, empathetic, and secure environment that fosters comfort and trust for each client

My approach to therapy

A variety of evidence-based methodologies are employed to tailor treatment plans to the unique needs of each client. These therapeutic modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Insight-Oriented Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, utilized either individually or in combination as clinically indicated. I provide comprehensive assessment, diagnostic evaluation, psychotherapy, and treatment planning services to a diverse population of adults and adolescents presenting with an array of psychiatric conditions, including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, PTSD, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and issues related to family or relationships.

What you can expect from me

In my practice, I use an array of evidence-based methodologies to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you thrive.
