My Work
Managing Depression
Are you experiencing feelings of hopelessness and isolation? You are not alone. We can work together to find and address the triggers of depression. Using a combination of CBT and DBT, we work on identifying negative thought patterns and develop interpersonal skills to improve relationships and overall mood.
Overcoming Anxiety
Anxiety can be a normal part of life; tests, promotions, parenting. When does anxiety become a problem? Facing repetitive, anxious or racing thoughts? Trouble concentrating or making decisions? Let's work together to change these thought patterns. With the implementation of cognitive behavioral therapy methods, we address the root causes and devise ways to handle anxiety more effectively.
Improving Self-Esteem
We all feel the sting of self doubt or the ripples of not being good enough for others. Struggling with low self-esteem and negative self-talk can really hold a person back from experiencing all the joys and wonders of life. We can work together to identify and challenge negative beliefs, as well as practice self-compassion and self-care.
Have you experienced a traumatic event, struggle with flashbacks or upsetting memories? Maybe you have had a shift in perspective related to a situation from the recent or distant past. We can work together to process these memories/traumas and develop coping strategies to manage triggers and symptoms.
Building Mindfulness Skills
Want to develop mindfulness skills to manage stress and improve overall well-being. We practice various mindfulness exercises and techniques to help integrate mindfulness and gratitude into daily life.

About Me
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) specializing in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I help teens, young adults, parents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns to achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives. I provide supervision to other clinicians trying to get their independent licensure.
When I am not working, I like to spend time with my family and friends, reading or watching my dogs play. I do my best to put in the same effort I expect my clients to which means taking care of my own mental and physical health.
