My greatest passion and inspiration is walking alongside individuals during their journey of self-discovery and improvement. This passion for helping others set me on my path of obtaining a Master's in Social Work, with a concentration in Health and Aging, and subsequently becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with individuals with substance abuse, chronic medical conditions, severe mental illness, life transitions, trauma, caregivers, those with brain impairments, and children and teens with that are diagnosed with developmental disorders.

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

While working together we will formulate clear and concise treatment goals that will be tailored in a way that achieving them doesn't feel so "out of the park." Additionally, it is my goal while working with clients that everyone feels comfortable, heard, and valued. I listen deeply. There is truth in the idea that you need to "feel it to heal it." In our sessions, I make space for whatever you are feeling. Therapy is your time and I invite you to bring your whole happy, sobbing, ambivalent, or exhausted self to the table.I carry a deep commitment to learning about everyone I work with and their needs and I look foward to working with you!

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I have post-graduate training and experience in Art Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Group Therapy, and Psychoanalysis. I also utilize Solution Focused, EMDR, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and IFS modalities in my work.

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

The biggest strength I have as a therapist and what I bring to the table is I care. I also believe what makes me effective in my work is I am results-oriented - I strive for my clients to feel heard and supported but I also go above and beyond to look for as best an "answer" as possible on what we can do to get treatment goals accomplished.
