Licensed Graduate Level Social Worker; Mental Health Clinical Trainee
“It is my sincere hope that by beginning the process of looking for a therapist and considering therapy, that you can recognize that you have taken an important first step on the path towards a more grounded and fulfilling life. Those who walk through my door will find an environment that is grounded in warmth and intentionally focused on collaboration, validation, and empowerment. I enjoy working with a variety of concerns and place the importance of centering your inherent value, strengths, and goals front and center in our work together. I got into this work because I have been consistently inspired by the ability of therapy to unpack the inherent resilience and capacity of the human spirit. I look forward to embarking on this work with you as well.”
