About me

Thank you for taking steps toward improving your well-being! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in Clinical Child and Family Psychology, Crisis Management, and Christian Counseling, I bring over 20 years of experience helping adults, teens, and families cope with anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, and life transitions such as death, divorce, and job loss. My goal is to foster a brave space where all thoughts and feelings are valued, allowing clients to embrace vulnerability. Together, we will work on creating meaningful personal goals to support your overall well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your healing journey.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session, you can expect a warm welcome and a safe space to share your story. Together, we'll begin exploring your goals and crafting a personalized path towards healing and well-being. I'm here to support you every step of the way.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength lies in my ability to quickly connect and build rapport with clients through active listening. Client feedback has shown that I excel in helping individuals uncover core beliefs that may be hindering their progress. Together, we work on reframing these beliefs, empowering clients to foster healthy relationships and achieve social-emotional well-being.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, caregiver stress trauma or life transitions (death, divorce, job loss etc.). During our initial sessions, we will delve into the current issues and collaborate to create a plan to address them so that you can improve the quality of your life. Most clients report progress within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have over 20 plus years experience with Cognitive Behavior Therapy with women, children, teens, families, older adults, etc. I use it in my practice to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, behaviors and actions.

Trauma Informed Care

I have been trained in trauma informed care and use it to gentle guide clients on their healing journey.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have used Dialectical Behavior Therapy to gently guide clients from acceptance to action, empowering them to learn skills to not only monitor their mood, manage their emotions and communicate them.

Faith based therapy

I use Faith Based therapy to guide clients of faith to embrace their faith as they strive to improve their social emotional well-being.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Therapy is used to help clients with reducing their symptoms of anxiety and depression by embracing being presently aware.

I want to mark more positives but it only lets me mark 2. I felt like a real plan was being made and like this isn't going to be just random therapy sessions like I've done in the past. Great session!
