Licensed Social Worker

My ideal client would be a child, adolescent, or young adult who is ready for a change in their life but may not know the best way to approach that change or who is looking for some additional help in implementing changes. Whether they are dealing with issues surrounding anxiety, depression, trauma, mood regulation, or identity formation, their goal is to further themselves towards reaching their full potential and becoming the best version on themselves that they can be.

I approach my clients with a non-judgmental and accepting attitude. I consider the client to be the expert on their own life who is approaching me to work collaboratively with them to help achieve their goals. I specialize in working with children and teens, the LGBTQ+ populations, and other minority populations.. I often use DBT, CBT, and systems theories.

I’ve dealt with my own mental health and identity struggles growing up which motivated me to become a therapist to provide the support to others that I felt I needed. I value building trust with each client to assist them in ways that feel authentic to them. I encourage clients to ask questions relevant to them to see if I will be a good fit for them.
