About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who truly believes that a successful therapy outcome starts with a strong rapport between client and therapist. I will utilize one of several therapeutic modalities dependent on what the client's concerns are and what direction they’re hoping to go in therapy. Some of these modalities may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Psychotherapy. An Integrated approach can be utilized as well.
I have worked with many different teens throughout my career including both in the school setting as well as clinic setting. Being a teenager can be a tough and it’s nice to know you have someone you can confide in and gain outside perspective moving forward.
I am known for being a good listener, caring, sensitive, and down to earth. Not only do I have the necessary credentials, experience, and hours to be licensed, but I also has a plethora of experience and wisdom to draw from, which is invaluable!
I believe that I was born to be a therapist and work with others to help them be the best that they can be!

I look forward to working with you!
