I want to help you compassionately change your relationship with your feelings, connect to your own values, recognize your own strengths, and live a rich and meaningful life. Your goals for emotional wellness are important, and I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years in the field, I use evidence- based practices to help individuals age 18 and older heal and grow. I am certified in Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders, and have experience in a wide range of mental health and co-occurring issues. I'm also experienced in helping helpers like healthcare workers and LEOs.
Starting therapy for the first time or with a new person can feel intimidating. I will walk with you through it. Let's be partners in your journey and experience the positive change that will happen through our alliance. You are not alone. Please call or message me today- the voicemail is confidential and has a greeting from my group, 4C Therapeutics.
