What should a new client know about working with you?
I am an LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) who provides mental health therapy services to individuals, couples and families. I am licensed in both Colorado and New Jersey with over 10 years of experience working as a clinician/therapist in a variety of settings including inpatient and outpatient treatment centers and schools. I have been providing tele-mental health (virtual) services via Reachlink for the past 2+ years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, chronic pain/chronic illness and ADD amongst many other issues. I pride myself on building a rapport and connection with my clients and creating an environment that fosters trust, safety, connection and growth.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness and meditation, and experiential therapies including internal family systems. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.

Professional, attentive, logical, easy to talk to. VERY FAIR AND OPEN IN MARRIAGE COUNSELING. I do not feel judged or labeled. I love her reflective listening and how quickly I was turned onto it as a method to constantly practice. She is by far, the best, most caring, and thorough therapist Ive ever had care with.

Pleasant and easy. She was very on point with social cues, fair, and was a great listener and interpreter. Non-judgmental and provided added resources outside of our session.
