Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15-years' experience working with adolescents, adults, couples and families who are experiencing challenges in their lives. I specialize in working with clients that are having difficulty coping with anxiety, feelings of depressed mood, relationship issues, dealing with past trauma as well as difficulties with life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a variety of techniques and skills from different therapeutic modalities that help to improve coping skills, reduce stress and conflict, increase self-confidence, strengthen relationships and enable people to enjoy a more fulfilling life. I implement a compassionate, non-judgmental approach that is strengths based. I ensure that clients feel heard and understood. I utilize CBT, Solution Focused and Psycho-educational Therapy as well as other evidence-based modalities.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, we will discuss what brought you into therapy and you will have the opportunity to tell your story. We will then work together to identify goals, and the steps needed in order for you to be successful. I aim to create a warm and comfortable environment that enables you to feel safe and secure while sharing sensitive information.
