Welcome! I am an LCSW and Board-Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, dedicated to providing compassionate and effective mental health support. It takes strength and courage to begin something new; and with a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment, I believe that this is where it all begins. We're human and go through difficult times which can cause us much confusion and a need for guidance, hope, and support.
I strongly believe that with an individualized, strength-based, and motivational approach, you can find a new direction and way of thinking to overcome the challenges we face in our everyday lives. With over 15 years of family therapy experience and working with children, teenagers, and adults, I am convinced that everyone has the ability to take a step in the right direction to live a happier, more fulfilling life.
My approach is action-oriented, effective, and based on your goals. I have extensive clinical experience supporting individuals impacted by substance use disorders and criminal justice involvement, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, ADHD/ADD, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Neurological Conditions, and acute mental illness. I have developed a passion for clinical work while working in Therapeutic Group Homes, Correctional Health Care, Outpatient Therapy, Long-Term Care, Skilled Nursing settings, School Programs, and Intensive In-Home settings. I specialize in both EMDR therapy and clinical hypnosis to reduce trauma-related symptoms.
