I am an LCSW who provides individual sessions for those struggling with mental health and addiction. I believe that past struggles do not need to define the future and that all people are resilient, which is evident in my strengths-based approach in therapy. I have experience in residential treatment, community-based services, domestic violence, and outpatient mental health with a broad range of populations.
I help to empower clients by using an integrative approach to my clinical work utilizing evidence-based practices such as; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Trauma-Informed Care, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing.
I look forward to meeting you and working together with you.
