Great to meet you!

With over 20 years of experience as a licensed clinical psychologist and social worker, I provide comprehensive clinical services to clients of all ages. My expertise spans various settings including child welfare, psychiatric mental health, crisis intervention, and community-based outpatient care. I emphasize compassion and humor in therapy, and I'm dedicated to community service and self-care. Let's collaborate to navigate life's challenges together!

My approach to therapy

Clients will receive tailored strategies addressing specific needs. Utilizing CBT for reframing negative thoughts, SFBT for solutions, and Person-Centered Therapy for open communication. TF-CBT offers structured interventions for trauma-related emotions. Additionally, clients can expect a supportive and non-judgmental environment, collaborative goal-setting, and empowerment to make positive changes in their lives.

What you can expect from me

I commend your commitment to self-awareness. I'm dedicated to addressing your mental health needs. Life's challenges shape how you perceive yourself and others. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where trust and listening are prioritized. I believe in your resilience and aim to help you tap into your resources for growth and lasting change.
