I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is currently working on my doctorate in psychology. I have a passion for post traumatic growth and believe that we can all overcome and grow form our experiences. We can all benefit from working on ourselves. In my time off, I enjoy spending time with my husband, 3 cats, and a dog.

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

Our first session will focus on discovering more about what brings you to therapy and getting to know you. Do not expect that I will ask you to go into detail yet about topics that might disturb you; rather, I am more likely to ask for headlines. Time permitting, and if clinically relevant, I might want to get you set up with a coping skill to use until our next session.

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

I am very person-centered, which means that I provide unconditional positive regard. I also have a great sense of humor. I am constantly seeking out new knowledge and training in order to improve and perfect my skills as a therapist and bring more to the therapeutic relationship. I have a passion for what I do.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have a lot of experience working with people from all walks of life. I have special knowledge about the military, first responders, and veterans. I love helping people to overcome struggles they are experiencing in order to live more effectively and with more joy.
