As a licensed social worker, I believe it is imperative for everyone to have an adequate support system. My approach to joining your support system is to meet you where you are at, collaborate with you, and help you uncover the 'why' beneath your struggles. I cultivate a calm and compassionate therapeutic environment. I employ various evidence-based practices including mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I pride myself on being a lifelong learner and staying informed on the most innovative approaches.
I specialize with clients 14 and older who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, anger management, and life-stage transitions. I celebrate diversity and invite you to come as you are, so we can work together to achieve your goals. I am an ally for the LGBTQ+ community, and am trained in writing letters of readiness.
I also have experience with supporting those who are experiencing caregiver burnout, chronic illness, and experience with crisis intervention. I encourage you to email, text, or call me to begin your journey of achieving the best version of you and reaching those goals you have always thought about.
