Introduction

I am an MSW and a licensed social worker specializing in clinical therapy. My goal is to assist and advocate for others in our community. We will construct achievable goals and evaluate them as we progress. I look forward to walking down your path, collaborating, and working with you to improve your whole health. I strive to end our community's behavioral and mental health stigmas! It is OKAY - to not be OKAY! I work with adults, teens, & adolescents, specializing in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, schizophrenia, & trauma counseling. I use a variety of psychotherapy treatments, including but not limited to CBT, TI-CBT, and family-focused approaches. I encourage clients to practice self-care and promote increased self-awareness and healing to clients! In our confidential environment, we will collaborate during our sessions of direct and honest dialogue that encourages creative self-expression, positive emotional and behavioral change, and breaking down internal barriers for your better health, mentally and physically.
