I'm a licensed clinical social worker who has experience working with individuals in education, nonprofit, and private practice settings. I'm trained in EMDR through the EMDR Institute and utilize a trauma informed approach within therapy. I use a strength based and relational approach while working to integrate all aspects of an individual’s life, such as culture, family origin, spirituality, relationships, and internal thoughts and emotions, to foster healthy growth. I work with new moms and parents, adults with mental disabilities, first responders, young professionals, and individuals working through every day life challenges. Within therapy, I commit to creating a safe and welcoming environment for individuals to explore and develop a true sense of self in the midst of the struggles they face. I believe that through the relationship built between the therapist and client, each person can begin to experience healing and transformation in their past and present difficulties.
