(she/her)
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been working in mental health for the past 4 years, primarily with youth and adolescents. I have experience working with parents at various stages of parenthood. I am firm believer that we are all unique and so is our ability to process events or emotions. My goal is to ensure that my work with and support of you feels this way too. If you are ready to begin or renew this process I am ready to listen.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
When we meet for the first time I will ask you questions about yourself, your hopes, your concerns. You will get an opportunity to ask me questions about who I am and how I work. This will be our chance to connect,build trust and create a plan that works for you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am a good listener, I listen without judgement or opinion, I give you the space and respect you need to heal, learn and grow. I am flexible and always open to learning and growing too.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I welcome anyone ready to begin or continue on their mental health journey and have worked with people from all walks of life; but my primary work over the last few years has been with youth and families. My clients have dealt with anxiety, peer issues, loss, and sudden or traumatic change.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use a variety of mindfulness techniques and psychoeducation to help clients learn to be centered, regulate emotions, and prioritize their own self care and healthy boundaries.
Trauma Informed Care
Being trauma informed allows me to prioritize the safety, empowerment and choice of clients. To meet clients where they are and to create an environment that allows for clients to process through difficult and traumatic experiences without judgement, pressure or unrealistic expectations.
