Welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social worker with more than 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate through life’s challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative and tailored to each individual client's unique needs and goals. I have experience supporting clients with concerns of anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions and more.
I integrate CBT/DBT, motivational interviewing, person centered therapy, solution focused therapy etc all while maintaining a strength-based perspective. It is my belief that each person has strengths & resilience that can be built upon. I work alongside my clients to develop coping skills, increase self-awareness, and create meaningful change.
During our first session you can expect a warm, inviting & judgment free environment where we can begin getting to know one another. We’ll discuss what brought you to therapy, your concerns, your personal history and what you hope to achieve.
