I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW. I have over 10 years working with children, adolescents, and adults . I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, phobias, substance abuse, life transitions, behavioral and attention concerns and parenting. I have supported and helped people of all ages. I love to get to know people and their stories. I believe we all have a story to tell and counseling is an avenue for you to tell your story, be heard and supported.
My counseling style is warm and open. I value respect, compassion, and genuine care in my professional work and life. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, acceptance commitment, humanistic, and EMDR approaches. I am able to utilize a variety of counseling tools that I have learned over the years to ensure that you are receiving my best every session.
I appreciate your openness and willingness to look at making a change, this is hard and knowing that you need additional help is the first step. I look forward to helping and supporting you on your journey.
Thank you and I am looking forward to meeting you!
