Hello, I am Licensed Clinical Social Work (LCSW) and have 16 years of counseling experience. As I am someone who has experienced difficulties personally and sought out help, I respect you for reaching out for counseling. I have professionally worked with individuals (all ages - infants/children/teens/Adults) dealing with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, suicide, trauma, families, couples and life challenges. It is truly sacred ground to walk this path with my clients.

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

In our first session, we will do introductions, discuss the needs or issues that you would like to address in your treatment. You can expect to be heard, seen and motivated to move forward in your journey toward healing and restoration.

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

My strengths are being present, listening, understanding, and following you through your journey to self-care and healing. I will meet you where you are and walk alongside the good, hard and difficult times with you. As well I believe the experience in my life helps qualify me to journey with those dealing with grief, loss of child/parent, loss of suicide and trauma.
