I am a Licensed Clinica Social Worker (LCSW). I earned my Master Degree in Social Work in 2010. I have a passion for helping clients navigate through complex issues, difficult emotions, and daily life stressors. I have several years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I work closely with you to determine the best treatment approach and what your needs are. Some areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, parenting, and life stressors.

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

In our first session, we will have introductions and get to know each other. You will have the opportunity to talk about the challenges you are facing and what you would like therapy to help you with. We will also explore what treatment will look like for you and collaboratively develop a treatment plan.

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

I started my career in Social Work because of my passion to help others. Throughout my years of experience, my passion and love to help others has grown. I am focused on helping you through difficult times and difficult emotions. It is very fulling too see my clients through their healing journey.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a very effective treatment approach to low self-esteem, depression, worry, anxiety, and conflict with others. Using CBT can help with decreasing negative moods and emotions, increase self-worth, and improving relationships.

EMDR

I am a certified EMDR therapist. I work very closely with my patients to determine if EMDR is right for you. EMDR is an effective evidence-based treatment approach to altering the emotions, thoughts, and responses resulting from traumatic experiences. EMDR can treat trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

Grief Therapy

Grief and loss are a very difficult time. In therapy, I help you work through the various stages and range of emotions you may feel.
