Short Bio

I am passionate and qualified Licensed Social Worker, with extensive clinical and administrative expertise. A psychotherapist committed to meeting my clients where they are by providing a down to earth, safe and judgmental free environment.

My goal is to provide high quality care using self-determination and collaboration as the center of my practice. Promoting growth and positive changes by empowering clients to become their “Best self”, with the assistance of identifying challenges, reducing negative thoughts and maladaptive behaviors along with overcoming obstacles to improve overall quality of life.

My experience clinically has been with both outpatient and school based clientele of all ages, backgrounds and mental health issues. I specialize in treating Anxiety, Depression, Post-Traumatic Stress and Mood Disorders. Clients who have feelings of hopelessness, difficulties with self-esteem, self-compassion, self-sabotaging behaviors, as well as interpersonal and relationship issues. My approach is tailored to each individual and utilizes a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Person Centered Therapy, Individual/Family Counseling, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness and Acceptance Based Relaxation Techniques.

Therapy can be the beginning of a familiar or unusual place for many, but I believe its another step to the start of something new, something positive and something obtainable in the making. I believe in having a compassionate working alliance, so together, clients can obtain anything and everything to successfully reach their goals.
