As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that self-care is essential to overall well-being and an important part of healing and growth. I have spent years supporting children, adults, and families as they work toward their mental health goals and build lives that feel meaningful and fulfilling. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping clients feel understood while developing practical tools.
I have a particular passion for supporting parents who are navigating the many roles and pressures they carry.
My goal is to provide a warm and safe environment for you to feel like you have truly been heard. I take an eclectic approach to therapy modalities but frequently utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and Brainspotting with clients.
I have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Chronic Pain as well as therapy for individuals living with chronic pain and chronic illness especially those with daily headaches.
I feel that my role is to support you as you walk through your therapy journey. I look forward to helping you meet your goals.
