The journey towards discovery and healing can be rewarding. The decision to seek counseling can be difficult. I am here to help. I am a social worker with over 20 years of experience. I have experience working with children and adults. I am passionate about my work and understand the importance of offering a nonjudgmental safe space for clients. We will work towards identifying your strengths to help you get to where you want to be. I will utilize a holistic approach to help equip clients with the tools needed to maintain a balanced life. I value moments when my client’s smile, thrive, or triumph over difficulties.
In our sessions, I will adapt my approach to each person’s unique needs providing individualized care while continuing to adhere to evidence-based techniques. I will incorporate useful treatment modalities including but not limited to Strength Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
Let’s work towards an overflow of positivity in your life. I welcome your questions or concerns. Take the first step and schedule a consultation today! I recognize the challenges of daily schedules, therefore I offer Telehealth services so therapy can be accessed from the convenience of your home or office.
