I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion and commitment to provide compassionate, non-judgmental, and client centered therapy.

I look forward to doing the same with you. My approach My therapeutic approach is a strength-based client-centered approach. I work collaboratively with you to help set and achieve your goals. I primarily use Trauma Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques to support you and assist you with managing any challenges you may be facing. I also believe in empowering you to tap into your inner strengths and use the tools that are already within you to help improve your life. My focus I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, loss and grief, substance use, self-esteem, and body image issues. I also have experience working with survivors of trauma including childhood trauma, sexual abuse trauma, intergenerational trauma, and domestic violence.
