I am a therapist who enjoys humor, believes in connection and is honest. Being authentic is an extremely important part of my practice. The journey that people take, when doing self work, can often feel very vulnerable and lonely. I am here to listen. In providing therapy, I am here to hold space a safe space, take the time to listen and provide quality, customized care. I have been in the field of social work for over 25 years, working with a variety of populations during their most difficult times and I would like to support you through yours.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session is the beginning foundation for our work. It is an opportunity to start to get a sense of who you are and hopefully the same will ring true in reverse. We will discuss what your treatment interest are, answer questions and determine if we are a good fit.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

The intrinsic ability to connect and be with people is one of my greatest strengths. Our world is so very busy; all of the time. Being able to be with someone, in a way that is kind and supportive, while they explore really hard things, is what I do best. I have worked with a variety of ages and they all have one thing in common; they want be seen, feel heard, and know they are supported. I am very, very good at creating such a space.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My practice offers support to people who are ready to engage in self-reflection. Individuals who might be struggling with a decision or struggle to find satisfaction in their life. I am committed to helping individuals be curious about their possibilities while honoring self compassion and respecting the courage it takes to engage in the change process. In this therapeutic space, it will be my job to support individuals as they continue in their journey of being there best possible selves.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I have been trained in several interventions and approaches. Ultimately, at the heart of it all, compassionate self reflection is key. Using strategies that include both somatic and cognitive therapies, treatment is tailored to the individuals needs while meeting them where they are at.
