I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over twenty years of experience working with adults, children, and families. I currently provide individual therapy services to adults via telehealth. I strive to meet you right where and explore the challenges you face with curiosity, kindness, and hope. I will work with you to set goals and will provide treatment approaches that meet your unique needs.
I will spend time in our first session getting to know what brings you to therapy and will spend time learning about your background, your family of origin, your mental health history and previous experiences with therapy, and what your daily life looks like today. I will talk with you about my treatment approaches and we will begin the process of creating goals together. You will have the opportunity to decide if I feel like a good fit as your therapist and you will be able to ask me questions as well.
As your therapist, I will listen carefully and deeply to what you share. I will celebrate who you are and who you are on the path to becoming. I will highlight and identify your strengths while working together with you to determine what your challenges are and what will help you see meaningful change. My strengths are in adapting to each new clients' needs quickly and formulating a treatment plan that will help them see a path forward. I truly believe that we can all find hope in even the darkest of times and that we can effectively work on your goals together.
My ideal client is anyone who has a desire to bring about change in their lives. I am thrilled to work with any and all adults at this time. I do focus on talk therapy and my approach is not brief treatment. I hope that you will see results from our work together quickly but I am not focused on fast results. I do believe that to understand who you are and the factors that shape you will take time, and I look forward to spending that time with you!
I will provide emotional support, validation, and encouragment as you explore your struggles and your goals. I will consistently highlight your strengths and your agency for change while making suggestions and assistance as needed to help foster change.
I will help you to explore the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral effect of past traumas and will help you to develop effective coping strategies and a heightened sense of safety and stability.
I will help you to gain insight into your current experiences by exploring the connections between past and present. I am interested in your early attachments and relationships and how patterns in those relationships affect you today.
I will work collaboratively with you to determine how your cultural background, values, beliefs, your lived experiences impact your worldview and your sense of self and identity. We will develop interventions and a treatment plan that is sensitive to your unique needs. I am also committed to continually exploring how my own background and dentity impacts that work that we do together and to be respectful, open, and curious about your perspectives.
