Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Work with 10+ years of experience working with individuals who struggle with anger, anxiety, depression, developmental disabilities, and personality disorders. I utilize CBT and DBT to help patients challenge automatic negative thoughts and help them learn to regulate their emotions. I have facilitated DBT and Anger Management groups with great success. I received my Master's from Syracuse University.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe I am a strong provider because I have experience working with people from all backgrounds. I have worked in schools, hospitals, prisons, and private practice.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help clients recognize automatic negative thoughts and cognitive distortions that contribute to their distress. I assist patient's with increasing engagement in positive activities to improve mood and reduce avoidance behaviors. I help equip clients with strategies to effectively handle life challenges and stressors.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use this to enhance a person's ability to be present in the moment, recognize and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment. I help people learn to tolerate and survive crises without resorting to harmful behaviors. I help clients generalize skills to various contexts and situations, ensuring they can maintain progress after therapy ends.
