I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in relationship issues, stress management, anxiety and life transitions for the adult population. As a therapist with over ten years of experience, my work has allowed me to treat both children and adults. I understand that trust takes time to develop. Regardless of the population, my therapeutic approach aids in navigating potential challenges that arise throughout the lifespan. Life can be overwhelming at any age, and having a trustworthy, neutral person to confide in is ideal. In my experience, I have come to learn that individuals want someone that will listen to them without judgement, which is what I provide. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal and Humanistic Therapy. My approach is non-judgmental, person-centered and collaborative. I am a strong believer that a person's mental health is as equally important as their physical health. Working together, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental environment. I utilize CBT, Humanistic and Interpersonal Therapy, to help clients develop skills that, with consistent application, improve their ability to manage the issues they present with. My style is creating a working alliance , and I modify my approach to each individual's unique goals. My journey to becoming a therapist began with being labeled 'the voice of reason' by friends. I would ask if they wanted someone to vent to, or were they seeking advice. When giving advice, I would take a neutral standpoint of seeing the entire picture, because there can be different perspectives in situations. My neutrality would take precedence, regardless of my personal relationship with the friend. This has deepened my commitment to providing an unbiased perspective to client sessions. I believe in individualization and client self-determination. People come from diverse backgrounds and have a multitude of life experiences, so acknowledging that diversity positively impacts the collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship I strive to build. I have interests in music, various forms of exercise, arts and crafts, cooking and collecting.

I offer an eclectic approach to therapy that pulls from a variety of treatment modalities, including solution-focused and strengths-based therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. When entering therapy, you should expect an opportunity to feel understood, validated, and confident in discussing concerns without judgment. I aim to equip clients with tools they can use to successfully manage stressors in their personal lives. It takes courage to seek support and divulge personal experiences; my goal is to help you feel assured in your decision to reach out!

The clients with whom I work tend to seek a better understanding of their coping mechanisms, relationship patterns, and self-limiting beliefs. I often work with college and graduate students that struggle with negative beliefs related to their capabilities and worthiness. I help clients to explore how past experiences have contributed to developing coping mechanisms, such as persistent worry, perfectionistic tendencies, and hypervigilance in social situations, that may have been helpful in the past but are no longer serving them in the present.
