“The SECRET of getting ahead is getting STARTED ” -Mark Twain Life is full of transitional moments. Whether you are transitioning into college, a new career or motherhood, these life events don’t need to be causing you distress. My passion is helping people manage whatever life throws at them. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has extensive experience working with adolescents and adults who are struggling in any or all domains of their life. I have worked in higher education, public school, in-home and hospital settings, and through those experiences I have found a passion working with young adults. I believe therapy begins with a strong, genuine connection. Building a trusting, supportive relationship is at the core of my work, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and comfortable being yourself. Opening up can feel intimidating, so providing a nonjudgmental and nurturing environment is especially important to me. I take a personalized approach, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities. I have helped clients achieve a variety of goals such as symptom reduction, increased self-awareness, professional development, and personal wellness. I look forward to taking the first step with you!
