I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with individuals and groups of all ages and backgrounds. I believe in the power of therapy to heal, restore, and foster a greater understanding of ourselves and our stories. I believe that everyone has the potential to change and improve with the right encouragement, accountability, and support.
Currently, my focus is on treating teens and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions.
When reading an online profile, it can be difficult to get a good read on a provider. I commend you for making it this far! Starting (or restarting) counseling is a big step. Go ahead and take the next step. If you want further information about me or have any questions, email, text, or call me. Thanks for considering me for your wellness journey!
