About me

Hi! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am dedicated to helping you navigate domestic violence, relationship issues, and major life transitions: like divorce, becoming a parent, or facing a layoff. I provide a safe, client-focused space where you are the expert on your life, and I am your guide. Specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques, I tailor evidence-based interventions to uncover the root causes of distress, empowering you to heal and regain control of your situation.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Initially, we will complete a collaborative assessment to fully understand your unique needs and outline clear mental health goals. Through ongoing sessions, we’ll consistently track your progress and adjust our plan together. You don't have to navigate this alone, reach out today and begin your healing journey!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach blends deep empathy with actionable strategies. We won't just talk; we will identify your specific triggers and create a highly individualized treatment plan. By focusing on practical tools and measurable progress, I ensure you feel safe and supported while actively working toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love to work with any and all adults who are wanting to improve their mental health wellbeing. Individuals that are ready to explore/build/strengthen their awareness to understand their triggers and emotions. To develop and strengthen the use of coping strategies to manage mental health symptoms and challenges
