I am a licensed clinical social worker with nearly 20 years of mental health experience in a variety of treatment settings. I currently only provide individual counseling to adult clients. I tend to be a "jump right in"/very direct type of therapist and I mostly use Solution Focused and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) methods in my practice. I enjoy helping clients identify where they are, where they want to be, and how therapy can assist them on their journey.
I am a generalist therapist and my primary specialties are working with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, co-dependency tendencies, grief, and life stressors/transitions.
As a social worker, I also believe environment and identity are important factors in who we are, what we struggle with, and the opportunities and roadblocks we might face. I seek to be inclusive in my therapeutic approach and respectful of how individual and societal elements affect a person's treatment needs and goals.
