Pouring into the hearts and minds of other professionals, especially fellow Social Workers, is a passion of mine, and I take pride in it. As a Licensure Supervisor, my role is to ensure you are prepared to pass the licensure exam and transition into independent practice. As a fellow Social Worker, my goal is to help you avoid the common pitfalls and reduce any stress you might already be feeling. Much like my approach to therapy, my supervision strategy begins with building a relationship.

I see individual clients aged 18 and older, but I have made exceptions to see younger children. This is considered on a case-by-case basis and generally depends on the child's needs. I also meet with couples who are dating, cohabiting, engaged, married, or at other stages of the relationship continuum. I will accept families for therapy, but all family members must be at least 12 years old. Parents will be required to sign consent forms for all underage children involved. Clients who tend to succeed most with me are those who are ready for change, willing to give and receive feedback, and understand that therapy is effective only when everyone is engaged. Most of the "work" of therapy happens between sessions, and clients who are willing to do readings or other activities outside of our meetings typically do well. My approach to the relational side of therapy is more relaxed and friendly, while still maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. Anyone who doesn't mind a laugh during a session or a non-traditional way of learning a concept will probably find greater success with me.
