Hello there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with clients a wide range of concerns including facing chronic and acute illness, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and life changing experiences. My focus is on motivational, solution focused, and strengths based approach utilizing the clients own self determination to meet their goals. I am a strong believer in boundaries, respect, and dignity in the therapeutic process. My counseling style is empathetic, mindful and client-centered, yet direct and straightforward when need be. I believe that you are the expert in your own experiences and with some guidance you can overcome your challenges. I am available for video, phone or live text sessions each week. I like to check in with my clients in between our weekly sessions to check in or send words of encouragement. I always welcome clients to message me in between sessions, if need be. Please remember that messaging in between sessions is for non-emergencies only. If you have an emergency and need to speak with someone right away, please call or text the 24/7 free and confidential Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8. I am currently available to take on new clients and look forward to meeting you soon.   I received my undergraduate degree in psychology and masters degree in social work. I enjoy spending my weekends challenging myself to new hobbies and spending time with family. When I am free, I enjoy leisure reading, taking my rescue dog on adventures, and creative projects. I want to congratulate you on taking this courageous step towards making a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
