I am a licensed clinical social worker with a focus on helping individuals overcome mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. My experience ranges from community mental health with severe and persistent mental illness as well as dual-diagnosis treatment. I am trauma-informed and believe in a client-centered approach that prioritizes safety, empathy, and empowerment for individuals who have experienced trauma.
I specialize in working with adults and young adults who are navigating complex emotions and behaviors. Whether you're grappling with past traumas, current stressors, or future uncertainties, I offer a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings. We'll develop practical strategies to manage symptoms, build resilience and enhance your overall well-being.
I combine a psychodynamic approach with other therapeutic techniques to address your unique needs. I utilize evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused and mindfulness techniques.
