Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that self-care is crucial to a person's overall wellbeing. I have spent years working with children, adults, and families who need support in achieving their mental health goals so they can live the life they want. I work with people with a variety of needs but as a former medical social worker, I have a special interest in working with parents of children with disabilities or complex medical needs.

My approach to therapy

I strive to provide a warm and safe environment for you to feel like you have truly been heard. I take an eclectic approach to therapy modalities but frequently utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and solution-focused therapy when working with clients.

What you can expect from me

I feel that my role is to support and guide you as you walk through your therapy journey. I look forward to the things we can accomplish together.
