I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, children behavioral concerns, and parenting problems. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, client-centered, and humanistic. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
