Hello, Therapy is a place for healing, learning, and growth. I would describe myself as friendly and down to earth. I love to laugh and smile, but I also know when it's time to get focused. We all have unrealized pain that is playing in the background of our minds. Sometimes, that pain is triggered and moves to the forefront of our daily lives. It doesn't matter if the pain is old or new; it can demand your present attention. I don't mind walking with you through the unspoken events in your life. I would be honored to be a part of your journey towards healing.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am committed to collecting evidenced based "tools for my toolbox" to aid those grappling with finding the new normal after their world has shifted.

I take an action-oriented, collaborative approach to therapy. I utilize a combination of psychoeducation, storytelling, and evidenced-based interventions to offer meaningful insight to support clients’ healing.
