My treatment philosophy is to create a partnership with my clients with the mutually shared goal of living a life you love, focusing on what you are committed to achieving and who you want to be in your life to make a difference. We will work together to remove any barriers and to overcome any obstacles that are in the way of fulfilling on what is possible for you and your life. 

 

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Substance Abuse Counselor creating an empowering therapeutic relationship with individuals.  My approach is a trauma-focused approach focusing on removing barriers past trauma poses to improve mental, emotional, physical and social well-being.  I provide supportive talk therapy and trauma focused therapy modalities (EMDR, CBT, DBT) to listen and assist the client in developing insights to manage their emotions effectively. Whether it be anxiety, depression or another unpleasant emotion that may pose a challenge, we will work together to have your emotions not be a barrier to living your life to its fullest potential.

 

My experience comes from over 12 years of practice in a variety of areas including individual, group and couple's therapy. I have extensive experience in treating both mental health (i.e. anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD) and substance use in outpatient practice, agency and hospital settings. I look forward to working with you.
