Great to meet you!

As a Clinical Social Worker, I have experience working in education, the foster care system, medical social work (pediatric hospital & geriatric home health), and with survivors of domestic violence. In addition, I have traveled the world serving underprivileged communities. I am passionate about helping others and giving hope to those who need it most.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Trying something new, especially counseling, can produce feelings of anxiety. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space, and offering a variety of treatment approaches tailored to meet the client's age/wants/needs.

What you can expect from our first session

Life can be difficult and we shouldn't have to do it alone. Throughout my personal and professional life, I've learned the importance of having a support system, and encourage everyone to find at least one person they can lean on. I love listening to a client's story, helping them identify areas of improvement, and working collaboratively to make positive changes. We are better together!
