Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker and group practice owner. We have clinicians from all walks of life that work with a wide range of concerns including: depression and anxiety, grief and loss, childhood and adult trauma, military and first responder trauma, sexual trauma, addictions, relational problems, stress related emotional and physical stress, care-giver support and more!

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy from a collaborative space. I work with people to determine the most appropriate path to healing and growth that is suited to you. Our practice values a person-centered approach and will always work with you to meet goals that are important to you.

What you can expect from me

I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for reflection, work on self, and healing.
