Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping others become their authentic selves. I have 15 years of experience working with youth of all ages and families in various settings (school, community, and in home) and 5 years of experience providing clinical therapy services both in person and virtually.
I work with individuals of all ages struggling with a variety of mental health concerns and life challenges, including mood disorders, stress and anxiety, LGBTQIA+ related issues, trauma and abuse, grief/loss, divorce/separation, and eating disorders.
My treatment modalities of expertise include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Art Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
I utilize a strength-based approach to empower my clients to practice the courage and vulnerability to first love themselves. I am big proponent of radical self-love and the connection between mind, body, and soul. I believe that wholeheartedly loving yourself first is the key to long lasting change.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, empathy, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!
***Please note that I do have more availability than what's on my calendar, including some weekends as needed. I prefer to schedule directly with my clients as my schedule varies. We will find a time that works for both of us!***

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
