Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide holistic, trauma focused and culturally sensitive therapy. I treat children, and adults. At this practice, our Child Therapy incorporates expressive therapy through play and art therapy. This approach has proven beneficial in helping children develop positive behaviors and coping skills. I work with teens and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, domestic violence, women’s issues, life transitions, relationship challenges, and traumatic experiences. At this practice, we will help you discover your true self through self-improvement and authenticity.

My approach to therapy

I utilize self-compassion therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, creative arts therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction.I believe that in working together through a trusting collaborative relationship one can gain support to alleviate emotional pain and begin the journey of self-acceptance.

What you can expect from me

My extensive experience includes helping clients with trauma related experiences. I provide psychodynamic therapy to individuals with unresolved childhood traumas to assist them in working through their past and becoming more balance individuals.
