LCSW, 8 years of experience

About me

I have many years working with patients across the lifespan. I have been a therapist for the past 8 years but have been in the field for almost 18. Prior to becoming a therapist, I provided case management services in a variety of settings. I am very creative and enjoy using play and art therapy techniques with those populations. Services are tailored to each patient. I believe in a collaborative approach as you are the expert of your life! I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches including Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation and Problem-Solving Therapy. Life can be difficult, but I can help you navigate your journey!
