From a young age I've wanted to help others. For over 20 years I have worked as an LICSW in a variety of healthcare settings with people across the lifespan, helping to inspire change and promote quality of life. In addition to my independent licensure, I hold a diploma in Natural Health Consulting, and certifications in spiritual and energy healing practices. My education, trainings, professional and personal experience make me a well-rounded practitioner equipped to help you reach your goals. Working with me you will be in a safe "space" where you will be heard and not judged. My approach is integrative, tailored to your individual needs. My style is patient, empathic, compassionate and kind. I will treat you as a unique individual, meet you where you are at, and work collaboratively with you to help you move to where you want to be. Together, we can effect change.
The first session is where we begin to build rapport and develop a therapeutic relationship. I will foster an atmosphere where you can feel comfortable and safe to share without judgment. I will want to hear about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve in sessions so I can know how best to support you.
Some of the treatment modalities I utilize include Cognitive-Behavioral, Client-Centered, Relational, and Compassion-Focused and Solution-Focused therapies, as well as mind-body practices.
Some of my biggest strengths as a therapist are my passion for helping others, active listening skills, open-mindedness, authenticity, and serving as a positive role model to help promote health and healing.
