Great to meet you!

Our mental health plays a factor in all areas of our lives, whether we realize it or not. I am passionate about helping individuals improve their mental health to help ensure they are living their best life.

My approach to therapy

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 1999, and I have experience supporting members from 6-56 years of age with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe it is important to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.

What you can expect from me

I create a warm and safe environment for clients to feel comfortable sharing their experiences and building confidence to create and achieve goals to improve current level of functioning.
