About My Clients

Life can be overwhelming; it doesn't have to stay that way. Taking the step towards using therapy as a support is a move in the right direction. I have supported a wide age range of clients with a variety of backgrounds and experiences. People come with lived experience to be acknowledged and validated. Whether you are experiencing stress, healing from trauma, need support around family and life, I'm sure we can work together to help you move forward.

My Background and Approach

I am a licensed clinical social worker. I enjoy utilizing Cognitive Behavior Therapy and mindfulness approaches in practice. Most of my clients have experienced difficult things in life that they carry with them in a variety of ways impacting their day to day. Talking through those experiences can sometimes be a helpful component of finding why it continues to impact a person years later. Things from childhood do impact who we become, it's important to acknowledge our past so we can find and create healthy approaches to our future.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a social worker, rooted in social work values and ethics. I identify as an ally in the LGBTQ community. I believe children have the right to a safe, healthy environment and that safe parenting and access to resources impact the wellbeing of children.
