Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Master's Degree from the University of Kansas School of Social Work. I have professional experience at Community Mental Health Center, I also have experience in child welfare, and developmental disabilities. I have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, as well as training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I have a special interest in attachment trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, and health and wellness.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe clients are resourceful and empower them to find their strengths and use them to solve their life's challenges.

What you can expect from our first session

I work on validating their experiences and supporting them to use skills to manage their affect. Then, we work on further skills to manage their current challenge. Then, we also work on more long term goals.
