I’m a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Minnesota and Oregon. I received my Masters degree from USC (Go Trojans!) and have been in practice since 2015. I have specialized training to support Military families and Veterans, members of the LGBTQ2S+ community, and older adults. My relevant experiences include military experience (Go Army!), community mental health therapy including individual and groups, case management, long term care, transitional care units, assisted living management and therapy in private practice.

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

Our first session will be relaxed and you will find im down to earth. Its my goal to have you feel understood, validated and supported in our first meeting. If you're needing a letter, we will set a goal of having 1-2 sessions to complete the requirements per WPATH standards of Care

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

I think my greatest strength as a provider is my ability to make people feel comfortable sharing their stories with me. I work with a wide age range and find that I’m able to find commonalities with almost everyone, it’s a beautiful part of the human experience.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I like using ACT because it encourages mindfulness (being present), focusing our attention and accepting our thoughts and feelings without judgement. This is helpful for a range of situations including CPTSD, depression and anxiety.

Gender-affirming therapy

As a member of the LGBTQ2S+ community, I stand in solidarity with those who do not conform to the gender binary. I have specialized training and experience in writing letters to support medical treatments and procedures.
