Hello! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 7 years of experience partnering with youth, adolescent, and adult clients toward their personal goals. I truly believe that each and every person has immense value and strength, and I see it as an honor to come alongside you in your path toward mental and emotional wellness. Specific areas of concern that I have experience with include: general life stressors, grief/loss, anxiety, panic, depression, emotional dysregulation, school performance, trauma, self-harm, and chronic illness.
At the core of my counseling approach is a belief that our life experiences and background shape who we are, and therefore I vary my therapeutic technique based on individual need.
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, and experiential therapies. I offer Biblical counseling upon request but am eager to work with those of all religious/spiritual backgrounds. If you think that I might be a good fit, reach out for a free consultation!
