My Background
My number one passion in life is to help nurture others to be their best selves using a non-judgemental approach. My academic journey led me to study Social Work at Saint Louis University in Saint Louis, Missouri where I obtained my Bachelors of Science in Social Work and Masters of Social Work. This is where my love for working in the mental health field began to grow, flourish, and ultimately led me to obtaining my clinical social work license. In addition, I have experience working abroad in the Middle East helping to anchor their movement to improve overall mental health and work towards self-wellness.
As a therapist, I use multiple therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. Special interests and experience include working with eating disorders, substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, codependency, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, and self esteem issues. It would be my pleasure to help you on your journey to self-wellness.
Beyond my work as a clinician, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, reading, traveling, and spending time in nature. I believe that it is important to practice what you preach– and want you to know that I have been in your shoes.
