I'm a licensed clinical social worker committed to helping my clients navigate life with ease and grace. I work with individuals and families, and I offer group therapy as well. I utilize a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and existential therapy. I also incorporate mindfulness practices to address each client on a mental, emotional, and spiritual level. I make it a point to validate my clients' strengths and values while providing psychoeducation and resources as needed.
I treat a variety of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, complicated grief, and trauma. The case management services I offer can guide my clients through the maze of accessing healthcare and connecting with community resources. Both counseling and case management services can be done in the client's home or through a secure telehealth platform. I currently do not accept insurance. I do provide sliding scale rates, and will assist with the insurance reimbursement process.
I believe in the power of choice when it comes to mental health treatment. Every session is tailored to meet each client's individual needs. Empathy is the foundation of my practice. I am here to actively listen, empower, motivate, and advocate.
