(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Throughout our work together, you will have more satisfying relationships, improve your coping mechanisms, and heal from your traumatic experiences.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience helping children, adults, and families in outpatient and school-based settings. I help with mood disorders, abuse and trauma, domestic violence, grief and loss, relationship issues, family conflict, coping skills, and life transitions. I focus on fostering inclusivity and collaboration. My approach is patient-centered and integrative and uses attachment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, solution-focused therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. I value the opportunity to work with people from different backgrounds and experiences. I enjoy traveling, baking, relaxing with a good book on the beach, and comedy shows.
