My extensive training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy for anxiety and depression, and solution-focused therapy for immediate and practical solutions.

My practice emphasizes building a supportive and empathetic therapeutic relationship, tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals. Whether addressing immediate challenges or fostering long-term well-being, I am committed to helping my clients navigate life's transitions with resilience and confidence. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey towards better mental health and overall well-being.

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

In our initial session, we will conduct a thorough psychosocial assessment (don't worry this just means I'll ask you a bunch of questions) to understand your unique challenges and strengths. Together, we will collaboratively identify therapy goals and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs, including determining the frequency and duration of our sessions to best support your journey towards healing and growth.

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

My greatest strengths as a therapist lie in delivering compassionate, empathetic care in a non-judgmental and flexible manner. With a broad knowledge base and a passion for helping others, I bring 19 years of extensive experience as a clinical social worker, including 11 years dedicated to supporting veterans. I excel at quickly adapting to changing client needs, ensuring that every therapy session is personalized and effective. By incorporating technology and modern solutions, I provide accessible and innovative care that meets the unique needs of each individual.
