Great to meet you!

I am very appreciative of your time to review my profile, and excited to hear from you if this brief information creates an interest to learn more about me, and/or to begin the steps of working together. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys the diversity of working with individuals 18+, couples, and families. My work usually serves and offers support to those that are struggling with communication issues, stress/anxiety, trauma, and complex life issues.

My approach to therapy

I am someone who values relationships in all facets. I try to approach my clinical work as I do all areas of my professional encounters; client centered, respectful, open-minded, and honoring the story. My clinical lens includes the exploration of meaning-making from life experiences, exploring relational dynamics/ patterns, and promoting healthier personal and interpersonal relationships. How we work together is an individualized approach and you are indeed part of that process.

What you can expect from me

I typically start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share some of your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming virtual environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you
