In my role as Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have experience working with all ages from 6 years to end of life. I have provided behavioral health therapy, case management, helping people cope with complex medical diagnoses and severe mental health illnesses, and provided patient advocacy and support services. I enjoy direct patient care and promote mental health and wellness. I look forward to joining you on this journey.

Treatment Approach

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I recently have expanded my practice and focusing on neurodiversity. My motivation for this have been through personal experiences. I hope to provide support and knowledge and guidance in this process.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I strive for strength based approach and meeting you where you are! I believe every persons life has potential for great things. I believe everyone has strengths and abilities. My strength lies in being a great listener and creating a place where anyone can express who they are in a safe non judgmental space.
