Great to meet you!

Working with people of varying ages and difficulties is my passion (age 12+). I want my clients to feel supported in the challenges they face and know they are not alone. Finding solutions for problems and making a plan to overcome obstacles are a few of the areas I excel in as a therapist and hope to share that same passion with you. With nearly 10 years of practice within the social work field, 5 of those being in a group practice, I like to prioritize building relationships and growing support systems for clients.

My approach to therapy

Listening to my clients is my biggest strength and I believe having a trusted, non-judgmental therapist is key in building a foundation for your therapy. Our focus will be on solution-based approaches. We will also work on cognitive behavior techniques, acceptance and commitment techniques, narrative approaches, and building coping skills for times ahead.

What you can expect from me

I enjoy sitting with clients and listening to their needs/wants to change and/or grow. Together, we'll come up with plans to achieve goals and set the pace of your therapeutic process.
