I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. With a compassionate and evidence-based approach, I support individuals in navigating life’s challenges and achieving lasting emotional wellness. In addition to clinical practice, I provide supervision to master's level social workers preparing for licensure, offering guidance rooted in ethical practice and clinical expertise.
Every potential client is unique as their lived experiences. I believe therapy should be a client-centered approach. Some modalities that have been helpful with past clients include Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
If you're feeling overwhelmed or simply need someone to process life’s challenges, please reach out for a 15 minute consultation.
