ABOUT ME
Thank you for considering me as your counselor.
Improving yourself can be a rewarding and lifelong positive enhancement. My role as a Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) is to help you in this journey. I believe that every person has room for improvement and seeking professional mental health counseling is a great step to take to improve yourself. I practice from a strengths perspective, helping you realize how to use what you do best to your maximum benefit. I also enjoy helping individuals who are not coping well in the context of their relationships with others and their families. I hope that my knowledge, professional training and life experiences will benefit you. I have experience working with children and adults in a variety of settings.
I also have specific training in how trauma impacts individuals and use this knowledge in my practice. I utilize solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy models while helping you improve yourself. My goals are to provide you a safe, therapeutic environment that can accomplish your personal goals. I am currently seeing patients using Telemedicine (video sessions), with a goal of beginning in-person sessions when it is safe for all. Contact my office today for help setting up an initial session
