LCSW, 11 years of experience
Compassionate and empathetic therapist with a deep passion for helping individuals who are struggling with situational stressors or mental illness. I specialize in working with people going through loss and grief (death, divorce, job loss, health issues), trauma, domestic violence and narcissistic abuse, depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders. I have 11 years of experience in the mental health field, including forensic and community mental health. I have experience working with teens, adults and older adults.
In our first session you can expect me to assess for needs, gather information and identify impairments. Discuss treatment needs and reason for seeking help.
My greatest strength as a provider is my empathy , ability to see beyond the surface symptoms and help patient discover deep rooted triggers and provide tools to alleviate symptoms. I have a passion for therapy and whole heartedly believe change is possible. I am a hands-on therapist who will help identify strengths but also unhelpful behaviors if needed. My lived experience helps me understand what a client might be experiencing and provides me a deeper understanding of their issues.
I enjoy working with clients who are motivated towards change, willing to step out of their comfort zone and delve deep into their triggers and symptoms. I also enjoy a challenge for those clients who are hesitant and don't believe change is possible or therapy is helpful.
I utilze this method consistently to help client understand faulty or distorted thinking patterns, how to challenge negative thinking, manage emotions, develop coping mechanisms and increase self awareness.
I have extensive experience working with those experiencing grief and loss. I provide psycho education on the grief process, a safe space to process feelings and ways to find meaning after loss.
I incorporate mindfulness into my practice to help patients reduce stress by using relaxation techniques, medication, grounding or deep breathing.
I utilize solution focused treatment with those patients who are struggling to manage short term stressors, my focus is on providing tools to motivate change and therefore provide improvement.
I have vast experience working with clients who have experienced trauma. I assist in challenging distorted thoughts surrounding their perception of self, feel relief and safety in their body and move past trauma.

I absolutely love her. She is a very good listener but also helps keep my grounded and gives advice that I can actually apply to my life in between my sessions with her.
