LCSW, 10 years of experience
I have experience working in various settings, and specialized in working with adults and couples. I strive to make clients feel safe and comfortable. I recognize the importance of the trust required in therapy, and believe that honesty and a strong relationship between the therapist and client essential in the therapy
I use a combination of DBT and CBT therapy, helping client identify negative and self-defeating thinking patterns that hurt self esteem and increase depression and anxiety. Through education of cognitive distortions, realization of behavioral patterns, goal development, and coping skills, I strive to help each of my clients achieve a better quality of life.
One of my biggest strengths is my ability to relate to my clients. I pride myself on being genuine and nonjudgmental, and strive to make clients as comfortable as possible while working with me.
