I began to pursue being a therapist because it is a source of healing and understanding and I want to help nurture that in others. I believe in paying it forward. There is a need to provide affordable and accessible mental health care. Therapy is a tool by which people can grow in the understanding of themselves and the world around them. IT is important to provide ethical and reliable care to those who want and need it. I try to guide the patient through the therapeutic experience by providing REST (Respect, Equality, Safety, and Trust.) This is one of the basic principles that I believe creates a healthy relationship. Come join me a safe space.
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2016 and have spent the majority of my career working with the LBGT+ population. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated for change by using a diverse range of therapy models so that I can tailor the experience for each individual person.

I am a person of long term recovery from substance use disorder, I am the wife of a person in long term recovery and I have 2 adult children that are in recovery as well. When it comes to the power of addiction, there is no one that I can't relate too. I know from personal experience the devastation that addiction brings to a family but also know the power of what recovery can bring. It is not an easy path and often times residential treatment and/or intensive outpatient treatment is a starting point. My desire to help people break free from the cycle of addiction comes from knowing that we do recover!
I offer an open minded non-judgemental approach and a great sense of humor, working together to become empowered within your life. I truly feel that with the right nurturing we are all capable of growing the life we want to live and blooming into the best versions of ourselves, no one is beyond help-if you’re ready to do the work i’m ready to stand by your side on the journey!
