I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 26 years of clinical experience across various settings, including both private and public sectors such as psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, corrections, residential treatment, school-based environments, in-home services, and currently, private practice. I've likely encountered a wide range of situations, allowing me to effectively “meet clients where they are” and guide them on their journey toward recovery and wellness. I focus on assisting individuals who aim to improve their mental health, emotional resilience, and general well-being. My methods are customized to address the distinct needs of various groups, such as students, young adults, professionals, and those experiencing life transitions. My communication style is centered around the individual and rooted in compassion. I appreciate the diversity and unique experiences that everyone brings to therapy. My goal is to foster a warm and nurturing relationship with you, helping to enhance your strengths, achieve your goals, and create a meaningful life that aligns with your values and desires.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
We’ll begin the therapeutic process by assessing your clinical needs and identifying strengths and assets that will support you to achieve your treatment goals. We’ll get to know each other and discuss your expectations for the counseling process.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I work primarily with adults and adolescents incorporating different treatment modalities to meet the needs of the client. My clinical focus on helping individuals, couples, and families build on their strengths, while assisting them in learning skills to improve the areas they want to work on.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with people who are motivated to get their lives back on track. My clients are eager to improve, but either don't yet have the tools needed OR those who need new tools to make this goal a reality.
Integrative
I use an integrative approach of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Cognitive Processing (CPT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Motivational Interviewing.

I adore my therapist. She is kind and thoughtful. She is also REAL! I enjoy hearing her unique perspective on situations that may seem minor to me and others, but she dissects it with the skill of a surgeon.
