In our first session together, here's what you can expect

New clients can expect to find a safe open space where they are seen and heard.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I work with a variety of methods. Top three would be CBT, strengths-perspective, and EMDR. It is my goal to allow the methods used to emerge from the client, clinician relationship. I promote the development of rich personal routines that contains space for all the elements necessary for a healthy engaged journey. I work with a lot of creatives and partner with them to reengage with whatever form of expression they bring and use it to help us through their presenting challenge. I find that most people, creative or not have a passion for something and being connected, and active in or with that passion is important our mental health.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My biggest strength is my ability to connect with my clients to organically open pathways together to help propel them towards their stated therapeutic and life goals. The primary reason that I can connect so well with so many people is my journey. It has been arduous and personally revealing which I am not afraid or ashamed to share with my clients when appropriate. My journey has included, addiction and homelessness, depression, and recovery. My entire professional career has been in social work primarily as director of programs servicing people in need.

I am positioned to service my entire community with a focus on creatives and people of color.
