Hi, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of social work and mental health experience. I utilize evidence-based therapy models focused on my clients' strengths, abilities, and unique life experiences in efforts to improve quality of life and restore overall health and wellness. I greatly enjoy my work with clients and the reward in my work is seeing clients succeed and overcome life's challenges.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have gained knowledge through working in many areas of social work and mental health. This has provided me with insights and perspectives that I love to share with my clients.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with clients who will benefit from a solution focused approach focusing on challenging negative thoughts and behaviors. This is an evidence based treatment that works well with reducing depression, anxiety, and other symptoms that cause distress.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy with clients who can benefit from learning more about emotional awareness and regulation. This can help greatly with those who may be struggling with feelings of anger, guilt, and/or shame.
Compassion Focused
I use Compassion Focused Therapy with clients who can benefit from emotional healing and recovery. CFT can help to develop a kinder and more understanding relationship with self and others.
