About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12+ years experience providing therapy. I have worked with clients with a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, adjustment disorder, domestic violence, parenting/family issues, and other relationship challenges. I have worked with the military community for the past 10 years focusing on trauma-informed therapy.

My therapy style is gentle and caring. I want to create a safe environment where clients know they will be treated with dignity and respect and will receive the support they need. My approach combines cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing, solutions-focused, and humanistic. Each treatment plan and session is tailored to the client's specific needs. I am here to help clients live happier, healthier lives.

I look forward to working with you!
