Social work is my passion and it has been for over 17 years. I have worked in a variety of settings using different treatment modalities. As I began working in the field as a substance abuse counselor, I recognized how great the need was in mental health and the challenges many individuals have faced as a result of trauma. My experience in providing years of group therapy helped me realize that there were many individuals who could benefit from therapy in a smaller context on an individual level. My experience includes corrections, community mental health, and working with active-duty service members and veterans. I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work at Longwood University in 2003 and Master of Science Degree in Social Work from Capella University in 2019.

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

I am all about getting to know you and what your needs are. You are the expert, and my position is more like a navigator and facilitator who provides you with options for suitable care. Through collaboration with you, we can explore ways to create positive change. I consider my approach to be straightforward, empathetic, and honest. My values align closely with social work’s ethical principles, specifically your right to make decisions in your treatment.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

My approach to therapy consists of a variety of evidence-based practices and to provide individualized care in a supportive and judgement free environment. The goal is to assist you in recognizing your strengths and abilities as you journey to healing, restoration, and recovery. Through collaboration with you, we can explore ways to create positive change.

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

I’m here to lend that helping hand and offer a warm and encouraging environment where you can speak candidly and receive care, compassion and guidance. Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
