About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience in helping others. I have served children, adults, couples, military members and their families. I am training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and have seen great results when using this method with my clients. I am a veteran, retired military spouse, and have dealt with grief of a personal level, which I believe helps me to be more empathetic for my clients.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will be just getting to know each other and exploring your concerns and reasons for seeking therapy. I believe that a great therapist/client relationship is built on trust and communication, so I like to use the first session to start building that relationship and helping you feel comfortable opening up to me.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My ability to be empathetic and listen to my clients has helped me be a successful therapist. I also have a lot of years of experience in therapy and have helped my clients navigate many different stages of life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in trauma, grief, military issues, family issues, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders and couples counseling.
