LMSW
Sometimes life is harder than expected, so it is beneficial to get assistance in navigating chapters of your life. With over 13+ years of experience, I always say I do not give advice, but instead, I provide individuals with tools to take one day at a time to become the best version of themselves.
I believe that to be an effective therapist, it is important to learn about the individuals to whom I provide therapy. I utilize a strength-based approach to encourage motivation and resiliency. I specialize in using a trauma-informed lens when working with the following populations: criminal and juvenile justice, LGBTQ, children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have expertise in working with, but is not limited to the following: depression, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, and life transitions.
