I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys working with all ages and demographics. I have prior experience working in hospice, grief and loss support, home health, Partial hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient programs, and about 5 years providing therapy. I like to use various modalities and help clients increase awareness to make shifts towards change in their lives. I am accepting, non-judgmental, open and here to provide a safe space for clients to share and process whatever they need.

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

If you have never been in therapy the first session goes over what to expect, rules and allowing us to get comfortable. First session will be an intake where I will typically be gathering information about you, addressing challenges and areas of strength, and asking what your goals for therapy and our work together are.

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

I feel that I am open, accepting, strength based, try to be solution focused and am very compassionate. I love people, understand love and pain, am understanding of people and what they have been through, I want clients to be better to themselves and feel better inside and out. I do have some medical experience which helps, and I feel my specialty in grief/end of loss allows me to go deeper and not be fearful to discuss the untalkaboutable.

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

I work best with clients struggling with anxiety, depression and ADHD symptoms. One of my specialties is grief and bereavement work with children and adults. I enjoy providing education and coping skills to function better while encouraging clients to increase their self-grace and kindness to self.
