Licensed Master Social Worker

An ideal client is someone who is actively engaged and participating in their own treatment, while being open to feedback and collaboration with their therapist. They would be willing to communicate their thoughts, feelings and past experiences while working toward identifying and utilizing their strengths. This is a client who is willing to work through complex emotions, challenge negative thinking patterns and learn new coping techniques. An ideal client would be open to receiving support while working collaboratively with their therapist to implement goals and work toward achieving the progress the client wishes to see. This can be achieved by a client who is actively seeking solutions and taking steps to improve their situation.

I am an experienced licensed Masters Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I offer compassionate non-judgmental sessions for individuals with a wide range of behavioral and emotional issues, with my specialties being anxiety and depressive disorders. I believe in a person centered, cognitive behavioral and strength-based counseling approach. I help clients work through complex emotions, challenge negative thinking patterns and learn new coping techniques. Together we can facilitate change to promote self-confidence and self-improvement. I believe in meeting people where they’re at and supporting them in developing their goals throughout treatment. I am honest, straightforward and aim to work with you to achieve the goals you desire.

How do you treat yourself when you are hurting? This question presents an opportunity for unlimited growth. Thoughts can be intrusive and overpower us causing intense feelings of anxiety, depression, and an overall feeling of being trapped or stuck. Although it may not always feel like it, happiness is within your control. Exploring ones internal world and looking inside at how one relates to their thoughts and feelings can become a place of clarity and a powerful tool that brings awareness, leading to positive change. I am here to listen to you and help you take control. I practice within a compassion-based framework and utilize a strengths-based perspective while incorporating a variety of evidence-based practices to help my clients meet their needs. We will work closely together to assess your needs and create goals that will help you achieve the progress you wish to see. Don’t hesitate to reach out, no matter your circumstances. If I feel that I am not the best therapist to help you meet your needs, I can provide you with referral resources.
