Sometimes, life throws us a curveball. We start feeling like something isn't quite right, or we are going through significant changes in life and would like some guidance. Whether you are having issues with anxiety, depression, family conflict, identity, college transitions, trauma, relationship concerns, or grief and loss, I can help you through a difficult situation. Having someone to talk to who understands your personal situation can be life-changing. While I've worked with a wide spectrum of clients over the years, clients in my practice are between 16-60 years of age who have difficulty with anxiety, depression, and/or interpersonal relationships. Goals related to these difficulties are often managing anxiety, increasing coping skills, improving relationships, and processing trauma if present. I am a licensed social worker with 15 years of clinical experience. I have worked with a vast majority of mental health issues and concerns ranging from personal life, work, and relationship issues. My youngest client has been 6, and my oldest client has been 90. I have experience working with various mental health diagnoses. My training focused on assessment and treatment of varying concerns. This includes utilizing a variety of therapeutic modalities. Still, I believe in a person-centered approach to therapy, tailoring services to the individual's personal story, and utilizing an integrative approach.
