(she/her)
I have been a therapist for the last 4 years and a social worker for the last 17 years. I have experience working with mental health, trauma/crisis, hospice/death/grief, and running therapeutic groups. I have worked with a wide variety of populations. My goal as a therapist is to get to know the person/couple/family and work to improve communication, relationships, self-esteem, increase coping skills, and work with you on your goals to be the best you.
In my first session, I am really just trying to get to know the person- where they are from, family/friend dynamics, what they do for a living, and what brought them to therapy.
I am a great listener and have a strong desire to want to help others.
I work best with individuals, couples, or families who recognize the issue they have come to therapy for and are willing to put in the work to address and ameliorate those issues.
