Therapeutic Services Rooted in Compassion, Evidence, and Experience

Are you seeking a therapeutic partner who brings not only clinical expertise but also a deep understanding of trauma, resilience, and systemic change?

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over a decade of experience delivering trauma-informed, evidence-based care across diverse settings.  My practice is grounded in empathy, guided by science, and shaped by a lifelong commitment to healing and justice.

Through my private practice, Values Based Behavioral Strategies, LLC, I offer therapeutic services that integrate:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including specialized modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and motivational interviewing, tailored to support recovery and personal growth
• Trauma-informed approaches that honor your lived experience and foster safety, empowerment, and connection

Whether you’re navigating PTSD, substance use recovery, or life transitions, I provide a safe, collaborative space where healing is possible. My work is informed by years of leadership in mental health care, national training initiatives, and academic teaching—ensuring that every session is both compassionate and clinically sound.

Let’s work together to build a path forward—one grounded in your values, strengths, and goals.
