Clients come to me looking for a therapist who is relatable, with the skills to help, because therapy shouldn't be a place where you feel uncomfortable. As licensed clinical social worker, I have the skills to help. As a human, I have the compassion you deserve. You don't have to continue to struggle to keep it all together, and you don't have to do it alone. I have over 5 years of clinical experience working with people like you, and over 10 as a social worker in other capacities. I want to help you see all you're already doing right, and provide you with the skills to move past your current challenges.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will get to know one another, and I'll make sure I understand who you are and what you goals for therapy are. Our following sessions will be filled with developing your skills, giving you space express and explore your thoughts and feelings, and of course, some laughter. Together, we will make progress at your pace and on your time, in a way that feels best for you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a military wife, mom to 3 boys, and endurance athlete, I understand well the ups and downs of life, and have navigated through quite a few of my own personal challenges. I have the personal and professional experience to come alongside you to help you move through whatever you're facing, too.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use this model to help clients learn to accept the things in their life that are contributing to their stress, instead of trying to avoid these things. I use this with clients with OCD and anxiety often.
Attachment-based
The way we were raised by our parental figures impacts us today. This approach can teach you more about how you relate to others. This is commonly used in couples' sessions, trauma treatment, and depression/anxiety treatment.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Our thoughts influence our feelings and behaviors. Change your thoughts, change your life. This technique is one of the best for treating OCD, depression and anxiety.
Humanistic
This approach focuses on you as an individual. I use it with every client. It highlights your strengths, not just "what's wrong".
Polyvagal Therapy
This technique highlights how we feel in our bodies, and I use it to teach clients how to tolerate the discomfort life can bring.
On average, Medicare clients pay $0-$29
