Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate their difficulties in expressing their emotions and manage life’s challenges. I empower clients to learn about themselves and establish a therapeutic plan to foster their growth, express in healthy ways, and to gain more acceptance, compassion, and love for themselves. With over 10 of experience in mental health care, I specialize in supporting clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles.

Education: Masters Degree in Social Work obtained from University of Wyoming in 2015

Specialties:

  • Anxiety & Stress Management
  • Depression & Mood Disorders
  • Relationship Issues
  • ADD/ADHD, Issues with Attentiveness & Organization
  • Low Self-Esteem & Difficulties with Identity
  • Learning Assertiveness, Implementing Healthy Boundaries & Managing Conflict

My approach to therapy

My approach is direct, empowering, collaborative, and tailored to the clients' unique needs. Drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Solution-Focused Therapy, I aim to create a safe and empowering space where healing can take root.

What you can expect from me

I believe therapy is a journey, not a destination. With therapeutic guidance and powerful encouragement, I strive to have clients gain clarity, and decide what changes to perform, and create deeper, meaningful definitions for their own lives. Goals are tailored to the clients' specific gains they would like to achieve in therapy, and beyond gaining strategies to cope with life struggles, I encourage clients to learn more about their needs holistically.
