Even in your hardest moments, there's always hope to flourish and grow.

Life is hard. Sometimes it can leave us feeling stuck or struggling in ways that make it hard to find our way forward. It takes courage to start therapy and open up. I truly consider it a privilege to develop a supportive relationship with my clients to work through the struggles in their life and help them feel hope for their future.

About

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW), I enjoy working with pre-teens (age 10+), adolescents, and adults. I strive to create a supportive space that offers compassion, empathy, and validation as you work towards your goals. I believe the working relationship we form is the foundation of the work we will do in therapy together. I believe it's important to acknowledge the progress you make along the way in reaching your goals! I focus on working with individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and those going through life changes, transitions, or relationship struggles. I have completed training in several areas of clinical practice, including Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD. I have a variety experiences of working with children and families over the past 20 years, including child welfare and going into family's homes to offer behavioral interventions for children struggling with behavioral and mental health challenges. I would be honored to join you on your journey.
