Hi, I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been in the field for over 2 decades. Over the years, I've cultivated expertise in working with both young adults and adults. I am dedicated to providing a safe and affirming space for all clients. In my practice, I hold the firm belief that trust and relationships are integral components of the recovery journey. I strive to create an atmosphere of acceptance, respect, and empathy, where you can openly explore your concerns and work toward positive change.

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

Our first session together will be an opportunity for us to explore what brings you into the room and determine the best approach to support you. I firmly believe that a trusting relationship is the cornerstone of effective therapy, and I am committed to fostering that trust from the very beginning. With openness and compassion, I will create a safe space where you can freely express yourself. This initial session will allow us to understand your unique needs and preferences, so that we can work together in a way that best supports your journey toward personal growth and breaking free from unhealthy patterns

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

One of my key strengths as a provider is my ability to be open and direct with each individual I work with. I believe in fostering an environment of honesty and transparency, where clients can feel comfortable expressing themselves. By incorporating a variety of techniques, I strive to help people effectively reach their goals. Whether it's through evidence-based practices, personalized strategies, or a combination of approaches, I am dedicated to supporting individuals in their journey towards personal growth and success
