I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and have been providing counseling to individuals, couples and families for over 10 years. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. I provide therapy using various modalities including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindful Self Compassion. I use a combination of therapeutic techniques to increase both self-awareness and insight as well as skill building and coping strategies. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a key to successful treatment and aim to create a collaborative, open, and safe therapy environment. I will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan based on your unique needs. I look forward to working together with you to identify and refine your skills to assist you with working through your current challenges, yet also encouraging you to navigate and discover the underlying reasons and potential causes of the issues at hand.
