As a clinical social worker, I believe it’s essential to recognize that therapy can be as diverse as the individuals seeking it, and that’s why I incorporate various styles and creative methods tailored to each person’s unique journey. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where the therapeutic relationship takes priority, allowing clients to feel at ease and move forward with confidence. I utilize approaches that help my clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. I teach my clients skills to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and stay calm during difficult situations, helping children, teens, their families, and adults find balance between accepting themselves and making positive changes.

I have a warm, compassionate, and positive approach to therapy to help my clients feel safe and at ease when addressing their concerns. I understand that taking the first step in seeking help may feel scary or uncomfortable, so I meet my clients where they are at in their journey for exploration and change. My work is informed by understanding that people are part of a bigger system that may be impacting their current situation. In therapy I explore biological, psychological, social, and spiritual components and utilize evidence-based models such as CBT, Trauma Focused-CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy. When working with children I will often use play and art interventions to provide them with the appropriate materials to support them in emotional processing and coping. Through my clinical experiences working in multiple community agencies, I have helped many children, teens, adults, and families work toward their therapeutic goals by helping them identify the origin of their struggles, provide user friendly interventions, and allow ample space to process their emotions.

My therapeutic approach is warm and collaborative. I create a safe place to talk openly and explore together with my clients their internal experiences, patterns, and what they’ve taken with them from lived experiences. I specialize in working with anxiety, self worth, and impacts of trauma and life stressors. My work is informed by understanding of the brain and nervous system, and draws from a variety of therapy modalities to individualize the process towards change to each client. I use EMDR therapy to help my clients through impacts of trauma/difficult experiences, limiting beliefs, and truly feel a difference in their self worth.

I use complementary approaches such as CBT, psychodynamic, neuropsychology, and mindfulness / somatic based approaches to support children, teens, and adults. I enjoy incorporating my background in art based techniques, elements of nature based therapy, and utilize age appropriate play therapy for children. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgemental, and encouraging. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and valued in your life and I believe therapy is a profoundly transformative way to help us cultivate long awaited moments of resiliency, healing, and self-awareness in our relationship with self and others.

I specialize in: Anxiety, identity (e.g., professional, sexuality, spirituality, general self-awareness), emotional and behavioral concerns for children/teens, parent coaching (PCIT), grief, ADHD, self-esteem, shame resiliency, women’s issues, LGBTQ+, lingering impacts from pandemic, and trauma.
