As a licensed clinical social worker, I am dedicated to helping children, adolescents, adults, couples and families to cope with daily challenges and transitions. I strive to help create a greater sense of overall peace, hope and self-awareness. It is my honor to be able to work with clients who are brave enough to show me into their world, so that I can help pave a smoother path. I specialize in addressing complex trauma, anxiety and panic, depression, OCD, behavioral and emotional reactivity, substance abuse and addiction, problem sexual behaviors, and other life transitions.

I utilize a client centered, strength based approach within all forms of treatment. Treatment modalities include, Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other evidence based practices.
