About My Clients

Life transitions are full of the unknown! I am passionate about helping others manage their anxiety about life changes, their identify, and new roles in their life. It would be an honor to witness your journey of self discovery, to find or create self love and hope. Any person experiencing heartbreak can pull up a chair to grieve, without shame or interruption. Come as you are, but bring your motivation to discover your blind spots of being happier, healthier, and more successful in life.

My Background and Approach

I use a strengths based approach, with a unique blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, child-centered play therapy, DBT/mindfulness and exposure response prevention techniques. I am currently a LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) with experience in various settings including domestic violence programs, foster care programs, and community mental health outpatient settings.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I'm proud to be an ally and supporter of several causes including attending rallies for the BLM movement and advocating for inclusivity of all spheres of diversity in past/current work place settings. I have previously volunteered in a skilled nursing facility and a local cultural appreciation committee.
