I cannot imagine a greater privilege than supporting you as we discuss the issues most important to you. A strong relationship between therapist and client is critical for success in therapy. My biggest strength is creating a space where you will feel safe, supported, and heard.
I believe therapy is a partnership where you are in the driver’s seat. I will meet you where you are, and together we will work toward your goals and at your pace. I want to help you find compassion for yourself and nurture your strengths and passions while finding coping strategies to improve your life and decrease your emotional pain.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief, and addiction. I tailor my approach to your needs, incorporating aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and, when appropriate, trauma-focused therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I specialize in working with adults and adolescents.
