ABOUT ME

As a clinical social worker, I believe that each person’s individual life experiences influence our ability to interact, trust, and form/sustain close, meaningful relationships with one another. And one of my greatest passions is partnering with people who want to take ownership over the happenings in their life. When we work together you can expect a safe space to explore your unspoken thoughts, doubts and fears without judgement. My practice is rooted in the belief that all individuals are deserving and worthy of happiness. My approach to working with clients is collaborative so the two of us can problem solve together while you build on your own strength and happiness. I often incorporate mindfulness and meditation practices in my work while utilizing CBT techniques.

It is my belief that every story is deserving of a listening ear and every individual deserves to be happy. You are no exception. This life is a journey, and I look forward to joining you on yours.

EXPERIENCE

I have worked in the social work field since 2013 and during that time I have worked with individuals from all walks of life. I spent the first four years of my social work career working with adjudicated youth and their families delivering an evidence based therapy model. From there I spent years providing crisis intervention services to clients experiencing a myriad of mental health symptoms. More recently, I have spent my time working in the health care field providing individuals and families with psychosocial support needed to cope with chronic, acute or terminal illnesses.
