Great to meet you!

Hi! Your therapy is in your control when working with me. I obtained my LCSW to work along side those in need of finding themselves. I have been working in the field for the past 6 years helping others find their strength, set boundaries and communicate more effectively. I help those struggling with addiction, life transitions, depression, anxiety, grief, communication and trauma. I have worked in various settings with children and adults who may be new mothers, changing a career or emerging aduts . I want to help guide you to find your confidence by challenging and supporting you.

My approach to therapy

Therapy can be intimidating and you can be unsure on where to start but it doesn't have to be scary! I help guide the way to unpack everything you have been holding in a productive and safe way. Therapy is a process and you may have to pace yourself but I will help with this. I lean conversational and relational. I'll meet you where you are and gently push to show you your strengths. I utilize CBT, motivation interviewing, trauma-informed therapy and structural family therapy. I want you not only to gain skills but to understand yourself better through exploring these different modalities and relational dynamics. I will provide education about the modalities to provide you the information to the process.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a get to know you sessions, so we can build a relationship. Our sessions can be in person or virtual, whatever you are comfortable with. I want to hear what YOU want to get out of therapy and the goals you want to set. Don't know? Lets figure it out together! Lets look at what you have been holding onto. If you have been to therapy before and know what doesn't work then tell me, knowledge is key for making this experience the best for you. If you're new, don't be afraid to ask questions, thats how we strengthen our relationship!
