I am a clinical social worker providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults who are seeking a safe and welcoming environment. I believe therapy should be a collaborative approach to reaching goals and bettering your life. I value strong therapeutic relationships so that you may find it easier to trust and gain the skills you need. I want to help you strengthen your own self-awareness and see that therapy is a place for you to improve the steps you are taking to reach your goals.
I have experience providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I am trained in providing EMDR Therapy as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma focused approaches. I believe therapy is a process of exploring your own skills as well as discovering new ways of coping. I offer a welcoming and safe space for you to connect with me.
I look forward to helping you on your journey through therapy and watching you grow from gaining skills and benefiting from the many ways that therapy can improve your life.
