About My Clients

I work with young adults to seniors to explore challenges that are preventing them from living up to their personal values and goals.

My Background and Approach

As a clinical Social Worker, I work with individuals to help them decide what they would like see change in their lives. My practice is DBT informed, CBT focused using Motivational Interview techniques to help make changes to improve outcomes. My approach is based on what individuals need to create to develop a healthier life. I believe we are all on a journey here in our lives and at times we meet roadblocks on our journey. I will work with you to look at those roadblocks, help decide what to do with them so you can continue on your journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we are all on a journey in our lives that are directed by our values and goals and past experiences. We are a community that needs each other and I strive in my personal life and in my practice to embrace this understanding.
