Hello! Clients often describe me as easy to talk to, down to earth and compassionate. My natural positive energy helps my clients improve their lives by developing better cognitive and emotional skills.

Are you seeking a deeper sense of satisfaction in your life? Do conflicted feelings often stand in the way of your happiness? With many years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and cultivating greater well-being.

A significant aspect of my practice involves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a specialty that focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors. I believe in providing practical solutions that can be readily applied to the challenges of everyday life, empowering you to make tangible progress.

My approach centers on building upon your inherent strengths while exploring new perspectives on existing challenges. Having earned my degree from the esteemed Wurzweiler School of Social Work, I bring a depth of knowledge and a compassionate perspective to my practice. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their struggles and develop effective strategies for lasting positive change.

I chose to become a therapist because I am amazed at the healing process through human connection. As complex beings, I am left in awe at the strength and resilience each individual possesses. I believe that despite difficulties faced, we have the power to rewrite our own story and live to fullest most authentic selves.

Our work together will not only aid you in overcoming any difficulties you may be facing but help understand patterns to develop tools that can be used in everyday life.

I aim to provide a healing space through compassion, support and acceptance. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, however, I often utilize tools from different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and inner child healing.

I hope to have the opportunity to hear from you and help you achieve your greater self.
