Great to meet you!

I’ve been helping people for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m so proud of you for taking this important step toward caring for yourself. It’s not always easy, and it shows strength and courage.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a wide range of challenges. My experience includes school settings, college multicultural affairs, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health counseling.

I also spent nine years in a hospital setting, working in psychiatric emergency services and on adolescent and adult inpatient units. This gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention and in supporting people through both mild and severe mental health concerns. Today, I continue to work in outpatient mental health, helping clients navigate life’s challenges and build resilience.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward the changes you want to see in your life. I look forward to working with you.

My approach to therapy

I meet my clients where they are, and I adjust to what they need. I believe it is important to be able to use a variety of different techniques to help my clients because everyone comes with their own specific issues. I have collected many different types of theories and techniques over the years, and I am sure I will find the one that will help you navigate through your issues.

What you can expect from me

Your first session will be me getting to know what your story is and what are your main issues are and the goals you want to achieve.
