Great to meet you!

I am an LCSW and have been in the field since 2009. I have spent most of that time in leadership roles at community behavioral health agencies. Clinical areas I enjoy helping with are career counseling, anxiety, sleep disorders, psychosis, relationships and couples counseling, counseling for fellow counselors, and helping people from all walks of life navigate the unexpected situations we find ourselves in.

I'm also a certified Reiki Master, which means I often lean towards a transpersonal approach. This focuses on assisting others to heal and work towards finding their true self. While this does influence my style, currently reiki is not an approved modality with the licensing board and therefore reiki itself is a separate service

My approach to therapy

My approach is eclectic and person-centered. Each individual is unique and therefore the treatment must be unique as well.

What you can expect from me

In the first session I will ask many questions to get to know you. As we progress, I tend to give homework. Doing the work in between sessions is a large factor in seeing positive results quickly. The hope towards conclusion of therapy, is that you will have new perspectives and skills to resolve issues as they arise.
