​I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker and have experience working in outpatient mental health counseling and addiction treatment settings. I use a strengths-based and culturally sensitive approach with my clients while putting an emphasis on self-determination. In our mental health counseling sessions you will find freedom from anxiety, depression, and negative self talk. Additionally, you will learn how to effectively communicate with others and acquire strategies for healthy stress management. My goal as your mental health counselor is to help guide you through change and healing so you can start living the life you deserve.

My education includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and a
Bachelor of Science in Social Work from The Ohio State University. Some of the approaches used in therapy include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills (DBT), Problem Solving Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, and Motivational Interviewing​.
