Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I am more than eager to help any individual who has the desire to seek assistance in managing distressing thoughts, symptoms, or behaviors. Being open and entrusting a professional in getting this assistance can often be a challenge. I understand how difficult this can be and exploring this ambivalence is something that is important for a client and therapist to dive into. Whether a client is suffering from forms of anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction or neuro cognitive challenges, my goal is to help clients achieve stability, hope, confidence and life fulfillment.

I find that utilizing an empathetic and strength based approach to all of the evidence based interventions that I use to be most effective. Through the identification of old and newly found client strengths this is incorporated into my work with individuals. Some of these approaches include CBT, DBT, mindfulness, solution focused therapy, relapse prevention planning, and trauma informed care.

I recognize that reaching out for professional help can be a challenge. It can be difficult to express and seek help and entrust another person with challenges and hardships we may face. As an individual who has been on both sides of seeking help and offering it, I appreciate this challenge. My warm and empathetic approach allows for clients to feel a sense of safety in sharing and motivation for positive growth and goal achievement.
