Sometimes life just gets really hard, and we simply cannot find any joy or peace. Please know I am someone who will help you look for the joy or at least a "glimmer" but I am also a safe zone and will hold space for you to share whatever it is and listen without judgement. Most times, we just need our voice to be heard and understood. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C), I am trained in lots of "therapeutic modalities" so I am skilled and will help you with your anxiety, depression, stress, coping, life transitions, grief - you name it. However, I will always remember that you are human being - a beautiful human who is deserving of feeling good, confident & competent and having a sense of purpose and finding where you belong. I will share my knowledge & skills, will hold you accountable as needed and will walk on this part of your journey with you. You only need to show up. We will figure out the rest together!

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

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, then I will listen while you tell me what you are looking for. If you are not sure, I will explore a bit. Next, we will address any questions, concerns, hesitations you may have. Finally, I will explain the process and ask a few questions so I can get to know you a bit better and together we will come up with a plan for our follow-up sessions.

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

I have been practicing for 17 years so I am confident in my ability to instill hope and work through an individual's challenges - whether that be their relationships, their job, their passions or their purpose.
