Do you struggle with trauma, anxiety, or depression? Are you looking for more effective ways to manage your stress and bring your life back into balance? With a depth of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor, I bring a unique blend of practicality, authenticity, warmth, and humor to my therapeutic approach. I'll work with you develop more insight into your thoughts/feelings/behavior, and help transform that insight into effective action in your everyday life. I'll help you learn a variety of practical, easy-to-use tools to use when you're struggling with your emotions and/or thoughts.
I utilize evidence-based modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy (couples and individual), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) , Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and more.
I specialize in working with trauma/PTSD, complex PTSD, anxiety, phobias, neurodivergence (e.g. struggling with autism masking or acceptance), depression, self-esteem issues, grief/loss, life transition struggles, LGBTQ+ issues, and couples therapy. If you think I might be a good fit for you, reach out to book a free 30-minute initial consultation.
