About me

"Once you choose hope, anything's possible". -Christopher Reeves
If this is your first time seeking therapy or returning for various reasons, welcome. I know it is not easy to seek out help but doing so just shows how strong you are. I applaud you for putting yourself first.
I am a clinical social worker who has worked with clients managing depression, anxiety, past and current traumas, relationship issues, mood disorders, and those struggling with life changes. I have training in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Family Therapy, and Strength Based Therapy.
I truly believe that therapy is a useful tool for anyone at any stage in life no matter if they have utilized therapy before. Therapy's most powerful tool is yourself. My philosophy of counseling is based on the belief that you possess the power to change and that my role is to support you in becoming aware of your inner strengths that foster growth. You already have all the answers, my job is just to hold a mirror for you to see them for yourself. Our therapeutic relationship will be supported in a safe, non-judgmental space to allow you to explore whatever may have brought you into therapy. I will simply provide a safe space where you can process emotions without judgment and learn to recognize your strengths. During our work together, your uniqueness will be celebrated. I will use a gentle approach to assess and treat you as an individual.
I am passionate about the work I do and will be honored to be part of your healing and growing process.
