It can be challenging going through the process of accepting and creating the momentum to take steps towards bettering your mental health and finding better ways to cope with stress. I believe in working with you to create a warm and open-minded environment to foster transparency and vulnerability within session. If you are looking to find better ways to address current struggles, but have not had the proper support, we will work together as a team towards identifying, taking steps, and accomplishing your goal!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with clients between the ages of 18-65 with a range of mental health conditions and needs. I specialize in ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues, Stress Management, trauma, and mood disorders. I utilize different therapy modalities and approaches in session to best meet my client's needs.
I believe everyone deserves to have services and resources to help them through difficult experiences and/or periods in their life. Everyone deserves care when mental health conditions and life stressors interfere with your quality of life. A favorite quote of mine is by Oscar Wilde "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken"
