Chat with me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I also hold a Pupil Personnel Services Credential (PPSC). I enjoy encouraging, empowering, and motivating others to be their best self. I enjoy helping others figure out the problem, and working with them to find the best solution. I promote self-care and making yourself a priority. It is important to give to yourself so that you can give to others (Remember that). Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Humanistic theory approaches are what I use in order to help motivate, encourage, and empower clients. I meet clients where they are, and provide support and tools to deal with challenging emotions related to anxiety, depression, relationships, or day to day issues. Clients will learn how to put themselves first. You will learn how to set appropriate and healthy boundaries, and be okay with it. You will be empowered and learn to love the little things about yourself; be more decisive in making the best choices for you; as well as challenge yourself to be your best self!
