LCSW
7 years of experience

I help people facing difficulties in their lives to grow, understand, and thrive. My past experiences include the provision and supervision of crisis services, as well as years of work in the behavioral health policy realm. I believe in the advancement of the rights of all individuals as a personal and professional responsibility. Currently, I specialize in trauma-informed therapy to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Together we will collaborate to nurture resilience, foster self-acceptance, and build meaningful connections in your life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the first session, you can tell me the problems that brought you to therapy. Then, we will go through a series of questions and conversations about your social and family history, and current stressors. My hope is to create goals with you and together, determine how to work best towards them.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am very direct, while still listening empathetically and being fully present. I want to ensure that I understand your strengths and challenges, and that I can work with you as a partner to help address these.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I serve older adolescents and adults, particularly those experiencing intermittent depressive or anxious symptoms. I work well with women, men, the LGBTQ+ community, and older adults.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. My goal is to work with clients to identify unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior to better understand them, and Identify those than can be most healthy and supportive.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS can be utilized to help clients identify problematic parts of themselves, to better understand them and their needs, and work towards an integrated approach to addressing life's difficulties and challenges.
