(she/her)
Welcome! I'm happy you're here and would love the opportunity to share a little bit about myself with you. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who would be honored to be a part of your journey. I've spent many years working with all age groups in a multitude of settings. Some of my past work includes anxiety, depression, grief, couples work, anger management, family stress, trauma, and life transitions. I love the work that I do and would love the opportunity to collaborate with you!
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, I would love to hear about what brings you to therapy. We'll chat about the therapeutic process and explore your goals of therapy. This conversation will help us to create a treatment plan together that is tailored to your specific needs and goals. All of this will occur in a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Therefore, I encourage you to express yourself freely. This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have. I look forward to working with you in your journey towards a more fulfilling and joyous life.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I show up as my true self and take pride in creating a safe space that you feel comfortable with being yourself as well. I enjoy working alongside clients in creating the change they seek and exploring what has been creating limitations for them. My energy is vibrant and my passion for this field resonates in everything that I do. I will encourage you to set goals to achieve the life that you seek for yourself. I am trauma informed and will bring warmth, ease, and understanding into all of our conversations.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
If you are here, then you're the person for me. I enjoy working with someone who is ready to explore, grow, and achieve. Someone curious about therapy, wanting to improve their lives, and learn strategies they can employ for years to come.
