About me
I am a licensed clinical social worker, specializing in women's issues, anxiety, and depression. I have extensive experience working with women from all walks of life and I have a passion for helping women find balance in their lives and learn to trust themselves and find their voices. I have been in private practice for over 9 years and have a good, solid background in mental health.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session, we will get to know one another. I will ask various questions about your history and background, as well as your goals for therapy.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am empathetic, kind and understanding. I try to make therapy relatable and stress free.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in working with adult women experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated and have goals in mind for therapy, although we can also develop goals along the way if you are just looking for someone to help you manage your anxiety and depression. I also have extensive experience helping clients through grief and loss.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Using CBT helps us understand how your emotions dictate your behaviors and vice versa.
Compassion Focused
Self-compassion and compassion for others in the foundation of much of my practice as a therapist and as a human. I think we need to develop more compassion for ourselves, especially when we make mistakes or are going through a difficult time in life.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I think that meditation and mindfulness can help us slow down and live in the present moment, when life's anxieties and struggles have us worrying about what might happen in the future. Developing a mindfulness practice can help us manage anxiety in a productive way.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I approach all of my clients and sessions through a person-centered ideal, where I find empathy for you as a person and approach you with unconditional positive regard and authenticity.
Strength-Based
I help clients understand their strengths and resilience during therapy so they can understand they have the ability to live the life they desire.
