Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/ psychotherapist, I believe that change can happen beginning with meaningful conversations. Welcome to the journey of self care and congratulations on taking that first step. I specialize in providing relief for anxiety, depression and I believe with effective therapy you can optimize your relationships, your career and your future.

My approach to therapy

Your unique story will receive an individualized approach to care with a therapeutic modality that's designed just for you. It’s important that we communicate openly and have honest and meaningful conversations about your circumstances. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and offer different perspectives along the way.

What you can expect from me

My sessions tend to start with introductions and a chance to share your story. We will discover and discuss goals and target behaviors and feelings you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to make it all happen in a way that will be appreciated. With me you will find a warm, non-judgement and welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable and secure with sharing and being vulnerable. go to www.pbhcare.net for more information
