Asking for help can be such a challenge. Change can be difficult! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist, my passion lies with helping you live your best life. My training as a solution-focused psychotherapist allows me to honor your inner strength and resilience as we work together to navigate life's twists and turns.
As your therapist, I create a safe and collaborative environment for you to identify, explore, and amplify your strengths. During the process of psychotherapy, you can expect me to be warm, empathic, and curious about how best to help you.
I utilize an eclectic blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based techniques, and Solution Focused Therapy to best meet your needs as my client. My work is always trauma informed. The first, and often most difficult, step to asking for help is calling. I look forward to speaking with you and working together!
