About me
I work with people struggling with a wide range of mental health concerns including addictions, depression, grief, and trauma
I am a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience in the mental health field, including over 6 years as an independently licensed provider, and I believe that everyone has the right and the ability to live a healthier life, free from the weight of the past. Whether that weight comes from the choices made by others, choices that you have made yourself, or the unpredictable twists and turns of life, I can help you find a path forward.
