I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical. I maintain a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach with all my clients. I am a welcoming and affirming therapist for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. The basis of my work with clients is supported by the frameworks of cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I am on the national registry of therapists certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and specialize in working with individuals who have a history of acute and complex traumatic experiences.
I work to provide my clients with education around mindfulness techniques, supporting them in gaining effective tools to manage symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to empower their sense of confidence, self-awareness, and emotional regulation throughout the course of therapy.
Throughout my career, I have gained a wide range of experiences working with both teens and adults who are survivors of complex trauma. In addition to my previous outpatient therapy work, I have managed community-based programs providing transition-to-adulthood services for at-risk teens and adolescents with significant mental health needs.
