I'm a Clinical Therapist, holding a Master’s in Clinical Social Work since 2006. I'm passionate about assisting others on their journey toward healing, recovery and wellness. My approach is interactive, warm and accepting. I practice cultural humility and welcome people of all backgrounds, age 14 and above!
I offer possibilities: tools that can be used immediately to increase coping skills, feelings of safety, calm and belonging. I use and draw upon tenets of trauma informed, strength- based approaches and treatment modalities, such as: Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solutions Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Alderian Therapy and Thera Play. The imagination and creative process are key in developing new ways to think about and cope with life’s challenges. I'm patient and willing to collaborate with you to discover what works. I work with a variety of mental health challenges, including but not limited to: Trauma, anxiety, depression, anger issues, addictions, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, eating disorders and autism. In my off time, I enjoy my family and friends, learning, reading, meditation, gardening, visual art, my cats and the natural world.
