I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 8 years of experience serving adults of all ages in mental health and addiction treatment settings. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety and substance use disorders. I enjoy meeting people where they are at in their journey and collaborating with them to help them achieve their personal goals utilizing evidence-based practices. My approach is warm, collaborative and solution-focused.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will start with brief introductions and then begin to identify therapy goals and create a plan for our work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I strike a good balance between being warm and empathetic, yet firm and directive. My approach is collaborative and solution-focused.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in mental health and addiction treatment settings to help people identify unhealthy thinking patterns which can lead to problematic behaviors, depression or anxiety.
Strength-Based
I utilize the strengths-based approach as a framework to help clients identify and build upon their personal strengths and resiliency rather than focusing on deficits and being stuck in the past.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I want to work with you to identify your goals for therapy and use best practices to come to real solutions. Therapy does not have to be a long-term commitment. My goal is to work with you to accomplish your goals so you can embark on your next journey.
Motivational Interviewing
I like to meet clients where they are at in their recovery journey and help them build up the motivation to meet their goals. Whether you are just considering making some changes or you are in long-term recovery, I can walk beside you.
Psychoeducation
I incorporate psychoeducation into my work to help my clients better understand the mind-body connection and the disease of addiction when identifying healthy coping skills and behavioral modifications to manage depression, anxiety and addiction.
