About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Master of Social Work degree with a specialization in mental health and substance use disorders. I have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings with adults struggling with co-morbid mental health and substance use disorders. I have a passion for continuing education and I enjoy learning about new techniques and research to provide evidence-based treatment and best practices. I am a big believer in finding balance within life’s ups and downs and I understand the importance of processing thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe and meaningful way.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in therapy sessions. I am a psychodynamically trained psychotherapist. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and hold a Dialectical Behavior Therapy Certification (C-DBT).
My approach to therapy is working with my client as a collaborative team in order to best achieve my clients goals. I believe it is important to leave therapy feeling empowered and equipped with the tools necessary to move forward. It takes courage to reach out for support and I hope I get the honor of working with you!
