As a clinician with over 20 years of experience in the social work field, I have encountered the rewards of working with individuals who face depression, anxiety, and the repercussions of traumatic or life-altering events. My education, training, and practical experiences have reinforced the importance of meeting clients where they are in their personal journeys, which is essential for successful person-centered practice. I am passionate about empowering individuals to understand their symptoms, identify triggers, and develop effective strategies for managing the effects of depression, anxiety, and trauma-related experiences.
As a licensed therapist, I provide evidence-based treatment for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, or trauma-related responses. My approach incorporates education designed to enhance your understanding of the various treatment options available. This empowers you to make informed decisions that foster resilience and promote emotional well-being.
As a clinician, I provide a supportive and welcoming environment that facilitates your unique healing journey. I prioritize empowering you to become the expert on your own experience as we explore your path to recovery together. I employ evidence-based practices and a diverse range of therapeutic modalities to accompany you on this transformative journey.
