COLLABORATION.
Collaboration in therapy is the key to growth and healing. Together, we will work as a team to create goals that are specific to your needs. Through collaboration, you will feel empowered to face challenges with support every step of the way.
My goal is to encourage growth through evidence-based treatment. I believe in using each client’s individual strengths to overcome challenges. I strive to create a supportive atmosphere that allows the client to feel empowered. I value working with clients from all backgrounds, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, and abilities.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my cat, being outdoors, and crafting. I offer both in-person and online/telehealth sessions for your convenience. As a Limited License Social Worker, I am supervised by a fully licensed therapist at our office.
I look forward to supporting you in your therapeutic journey and welcome you to reach out if you feel we’d be a good fit!

I love being a therapist because I love seeing the growth clients make. I love seeing them grow their confidence in all areas.
