About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience working as a psychotherapist, with extensive experience in crisis work. I have worked with clients with a wide range of challenges, including depression, self harm, suicidal ideation, anxiety, auditory and visual hallucinations, relationship issues, parenting problems, Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical and sexual trauma or emotional abuse. I have spent the last 5 years working with adults, children and adolescents.

My counseling style is relaxed, inviting and always transparent. I understand that making the decision to come to therapy can sometimes feel scary and overwhelming, I will always start where you are at, and never assume what you need. I want our time together to feel like team work, as we both work together to get you where you want to be. I come from a psychodynamic background, while pulling in different interventions from techniques ranging from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapist (DBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)/Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Person-Centered Therapy, Brief Goal Directed Therapy, Short Term Psychodynamic Therapy, and Trauma Focused-CBT. I will work with you to find the best technique or techniques which fit your needs best!

The fact that you are here, means you have done the hardest part, which is asking for support and finally taking the leap into therapy. I am so excited to have the opportunity to work with you and work together to make changes, one step at a time!
