As a licensed clinical social worker, I welcome a diverse range of clients who are seeking a holistic approach to health and wellness. I predominatley utilize psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and trauma focused treatment modalities. For over 10 years, I have assisted adolescents and adults who come to therapy with a range of challenges.

Many clients I work with have trauma and abuse histories, engage in self-destructive behaviors, experience depression and anxiety, have toxic relationships, engage in substance misuse, and feel stuck in old patterns that feels difficult to change. While many of our coping strategies and behaviors may have at one time been a reasonable response to life events, sometimes people find these ways of coping no longer work for them.

In a safe therapeutic relationship, I will assist you in exploring what contributes to your current behaviors and ways of coping and help to add new and healthy ways of relating to your experiences. In my practice, I will assist you in processing difficult things while also taking action and setting achievable goals.

I strongly believe in complimentary approaches to achieving wellness and recovery. I utilize meditation, mindfulness, and make referrals to established providers in acupuncture and body work. Also, psychiatry and medication management can be a strong tool in wellness and recovery and I will work collaboratively with a provider of your choice.
