Your journey is unique, and I honestly don’t know all the details! I like to let your experiences shape the way we work together. I’ll bring my professional background and skills, you bring your lived experiences, and together, we will make a great team. I truly believe that being authentic and staying curious are key to what we do in therapy. I’m a licensed social worker with experience working with both teens and adults in outpatient and community settings. Plus, I always have stickers. Everyone deserves a sticker!
I draw from a mix of different clinical approaches like strength-based therapy, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and narrative therapy. I also have a graduate certificate in outdoor behavioral health, and I enjoy bringing in hands-on therapeutic methods. I love supporting fellow parents. I'm also passionate about working in the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
Outside of work, I'm a parent, a gamer, and a huge roller coaster nerd. I’ve also been an EMT and have worked in different fields, bringing a wide perspective. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I'd love to connect and see how I can best assist you! Send me a message or schedule an intake directly on the Ellie website, no phone calls needed!
