My life's passions include honest self-examination and personal betterment, and I am blessed to be able to exercise these passions every day when I work with my clients. The decision to seek counseling is often difficult as it involves being vulnerable and confronting sensitive issues. I pride myself in my natural ability to make my clients feel comfortable discussing such issues by providing a warm and nonjudgemental counseling environment. I focus on treating individuals with all levels of depression and anxiety, as well as relationship concerns, though I am experienced in treating a wide range of presenting issues.

I strive daily to take a compassionate approach while working with individuals including adolescents over 17 and adults. I have experience collaborating in treatment with individuals with mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and trauma and I work with individuals who are 17 years and older. I believe a significant part of the therapeutic process is building a therapeutic relationship with my client. Being able to practice this healthy relationship in therapy can help to improve other relationships outside of therapy.

My approach to treatment is based in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model. I work to help you identify feelings that have an impact on your behaviors and attitudes. By identifying this string of thoughts, feelings and actions, we can work together to make changes that bring about positive outcomes in your life. At times, making changes can be difficult. Techniques of Motivational Interviewing are useful when struggling to determine what changes would be the most beneficial. I approach every session with a trauma informed attitude so events that leave an emotional imprint can be effectively explored.

Everyone is deserving of a life of peace and genuine happiness! My ideal clients are those that are looking to work towards that life through personal growth and healing!

Through an honest and passionate approach, I want to help you navigate your experiences and challenges, while creating an opportunity for you to enjoy the process as much as possible. I understand that seeking out therapy can be intimidating, but you are already making steps towards finding that genuine happiness and peace that you deserve!

I’m interested in how trauma and life transitions impact how you feel about yourself and your relationship with the world. I will work with you on trauma, self-harm, identity and self-esteem, attachment struggles, individual, family, and group relationship dynamics, domestic violence, and relational boundaries – and how these factors and mental health symptoms play out in patterns in people’s lives. Note that I offer therapy to individuals and not group or family therapy sessions.

I am a licensed clinical social worker committed to working with individuals and families learn how to cope with, and ultimately move past, the struggles posed by mental health and past trauma.

I believe one of the most important aspects of therapy is providing a safe place for people to express themselves without judgement.

Drawn to the wounds of the human soul, I gravitate to the sorrow of the afflicted, the oppressed, and the broken-hearted.
