I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Master of Social Work degree with a specialization in mental health and substance use disorders. I have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings with adults struggling with co-morbid mental health and substance use disorders. I have a passion for continuing education and I enjoy learning about new techniques and research to provide evidence-based treatment and best practices. I am a big believer in finding balance within life’s ups and downs and I understand the importance of processing thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe and meaningful way.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in therapy sessions. I am a psychodynamically trained psychotherapist. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and hold a Dialectical Behavior Therapy Certification (C-DBT).
My approach to therapy is working with my client as a collaborative team in order to best achieve my clients goals. I believe it is important to leave therapy feeling empowered and equipped with the tools necessary to move forward. It takes courage to reach out for support and I hope I get the honor of working with you!

DBT Group

Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT helps you learn how to accept yourself and your life as it is, while also figuring out how to change the things that aren’t working for you. It’s like a toolkit for dealing with tough emotions, situations, and relationships. I will be leading a 6-session group process that aims to help individuals with self-discovery, and a positive shift in emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The sessions cover six essential modules: Intro to DBT, Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Wrap Up.
