Choosing to begin therapy is a profound act of strength. As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), my mission is to provide a space where you feel genuinely encouraged and heard.
I believe that the most effective therapy is a collaborative partnership where the client is the ultimate driver of their healing and growth. We will work side-by-side to navigate your challenges, drawing on your inherent strengths to build a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.
Every individual is unique, which is why I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. I draw from a robust toolkit of evidence-based practices to tailor our sessions to your specific needs.
My therapeutic work is grounded in: CBT and DBT, to help you manage emotions and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Behavior Analysis, to understand and modify complex behavioral cycles. Motivational Interviewing, to help you find the internal drive to make lasting changes. Solution-Focused & Brief Therapy, for those looking for practical, goal-oriented progress. Person-Centered & Strengths-Based Therapy, ensuring you remain the expert on your own life while we focus on what makes you resilient.
Mindfulness, to help you stay grounded in the present moment amidst life’s stressors. I have experience with an array of diverse populations and settings. Some of them include: crisis stabilization, corrections, youth and adolescents, child-welfare, severe mental illness, self-harm and suicidality, and many more. You could say I have first-hand experience at “ground-zero” when it comes to mental health. Through this I have developed a deep comfort in navigating “heavy” and complex clinical issues.
I work with men and women (ages 12 and up), and I have a particular interest and specialty in supporting men and teens as they navigate the unique social and emotional pressures of today.
My personal foundation is built on my Christian faith. For clients who desire to incorporate Christianity and spiritual principles into their healing process, I am honored to provide a space where your faith is a central part of your therapeutic journey. If spirituality is not something you wish to incorporate, those boundaries will be firmly respected.
I am currently available for telehealth only. I look forward to walking this journey with you.
