LCSW, 3 years of experience
New to Grow
My background is in clinical social work; over the past 10 years I have worked to empower individuals living with HIV/AIDS, substance use and involvement with the justice system as well as working with First Responders. I am trained in EMDR, Somatic Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and CBT. I am a former firefighter/emt and have 5 years experience working in substance use treatment. I also am in recovery.
I seek to empower individuals to live well through combining evidence based trauma informed somatic and integrative therapeutic interventions to reconnect with the present, process experiences and release tension. Our first session will focus on collaborating to develop a strengths based plan guiding us toward living life on your terms.
I offer a calm, person centered, non-judgmental and grounding approach.
Have you struggled to express your experiences as a first responder or medical professional; lived with constant anxiety or trauma? Would you like to explore a relationship with life without substances?
In my work I use an intuitive blending of somatic therapy with cognitive approaches to connect the mind and body.
