I am an experienced clinically licensed social worker who is passionate about helping people overcome the effects of trauma and anxiety so they can experience the freedom to have a richer and fuller life.
I primarily work with individuals using cognitive behavioral therapy principles and trauma informed practices in a compassionate and collaborative manner. My goals are to help my clients take a journey of discovering their strengths and values to overcome challenges and tragedies that are preventing a fullness of life for them. Because I want to maximize an individual's power to choose in the therapeutic process I do not work with mandated clients or children who are not interested. I operate on an assumption that each session belongs to the client so others are included in the session according to client need and choice.
I have had certified training in cognitive behavioral therapy, clinical trauma training, and telehealth for mental health professionals. I have also trained in applied neuroscience for treating anxiety, panic, and worry and in intimate partner violence.
