Hi! I am a Masters-Level Mental Health Counselor and I have been in the mental health field since 2020. Before working in outpatient, I specialized in eating disorders in a clinic setting. I have also became familiar with PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and personality disorders. My treatment model is centered around CBT, DBT, and REBT. This means that I focus on the interaction of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and place emphasis on irrational thought processes. 

I am a clinical social worker with over 15 years experience working with a range of clients from children to adults. I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, ADHD, behavioral challenges, and life transitions. I have provided therapy in hospitals, schools, and clinics. I acknowledge the courage it requires to embark on a therapeutic journey. When you take that step, my aim is to provide you with a secure and empowering environment where we can collaborate.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating disruptive life events. I use evidence-based therapies, such as solution-focused therapy, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused therapy, to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.

I am a licensed mental health counselor and believe that change is possible with dedication, perhaps setbacks, and perseverance along the way. I will journey with you as you define your personal goals and strategies for the changes you want to see. Whether you are looking for extra support through a challenging situation or preparing to shift in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working alongside you to achieve the outcomes you desire.
