Clinic Director, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

I work frequently with transition aged youth (ages 18-30). I specialize in trauma focused care for eating disorders and substance use. I also work with individuals struggling with chronic or episodic depression.

My clinical style is relational/cultural. This means that the relationship with the client is predominant to modeling the components to the work that will enhance change for the individual (communication, boundaries, safety etc.) I am also trained in many evidence-based approaches such as DBT, CBT, and IFS. I may also utilize my training in hypnotherapy to build a foundation for relation based stress reduction for the individual.

As a person, I am an extension of the work that I do. I believe in the principles of healing that I try to foster for others and I try to utilize such skills for myself daily.
