Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing for ten years. I have focused on crisis management and suicide prevention for much of my professional career, working in community and forensic settings. I work with adult clients of all backgrounds to help manage difficult emotions, cope with major life changes, and achieve personal goals.

My approach to therapy

I use cognitive behavioral interventions, a strengths based approach, and an understanding of systems theory to help clients identify and achieve personal goals.

What you can expect from me

In the first session we identify the first challenge you would like to address, explore strengths that will help you meet your goal, and develop a plan for treatment going forward.
