Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Accepting clients Last Updated Today

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience, I consider myself a compassionate and skilled therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, and life transitions. With a solid foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, I employ an eclectic style, integrating evidence-based practices to tailor my approach to each client's unique needs. I have a special commitment to LGBTQ wellness and take an inclusive and affirming approach, creating a safe space for individuals to explore their identities and address unique challenges they may face. The majority of my career has focused on addiction treatment, assessment, and recovery. Recovery is complex, and I assist clients in building resilience, coping skills, and fostering a sense of empowerment in their recovery journey. No two paths are the same – I’m here to help you find your own best path and the best tools to clear the way. Reach out today for a free conversation to see if we’re a good fit!
