I am a Clinical Social Worker, and I specialize in working with people affected by a wide range of symptoms related to trauma and grief. I help people manage symptoms related to anxiety and depression. I work with people who want to improve their functioning and effectively manage the symptoms that interfere with daily functioning and prevent them from enjoying their lives. I specialize in working with First Responders, Couples, Individuals, and clients who are re-entering communities after incarceration.
I will work with you to create positive changes through practical and easy-to-apply techniques. I will guide you through this journey and teach you skills to help you feel more comfortable and confident and have a healthy, meaningful life. I implement Trauma-Informed Therapy, the Cognitive Behavioral approach, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in sessions.
If you feel stuck and believe there is no way to manage those symptoms, please reach out. I am passionate about creating a safe, compassionate space for my clients to help them grow from their experiences and improve their functioning within themselves and their environment.
