Introduction

I have always had a desire to help others. Throughout my career as a Social Worker, I have had the privilege of working in various settings, including hospitals, schools, and non-profit organizations. I have supported clients through grief, counseled sexually abused children and teens, and helped families navigate challenging times. My true passion lies in journeying with individuals as they discover more about themselves in our ever-changing world. I assist them and their families in developing tools to navigate daily events and life's bigger stressors. Using therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy, I help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and trauma. These techniques equip my clients with coping skills for the future. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), my goal is to help clients navigate life events and move forward in the best possible way. I am a therapist who listens and meets you where you are. Together, we will create goals and a plan tailored to your needs. All therapy goals will come from you, ensuring that the solutions we find are the best fit for you.
