Hi, it's nice to meet you! I am excited to introduce myself and share how I can support you on your journey towards healing and growth. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working in private practice. I see my work as coming alongside people to help them make positive change in their lives and relationships! I believe my role is to hold space and provide guidance so you can become an even better version of yourself. I believe we are all amazing as we are, and we all have some work to do.
During our first session, my largest objective is for us to begin to form a solid foundation for the therapeutic work we will be doing together. I will likely ask a lot of questions about your background, what you've been experiencing, and what some of your goals are. It's okay if you don't have your goals nailed down just yet, we can figure it out together!
I believe my greatest strengths are in building the therapeutic relationship, providing encouragement, and empowering individuals to make changes in their lives. You are doing all of the heavy lifting, I'm just happy to be able to coach you through it!
My background is in Social Work, which is deeply rooted in strengths perspective and meeting the individual where they are.
I love utilizing elements of ACT to assist people in accepting their thoughts and feelings and utilizing mindfulness to "unhook" from the unwanted thoughts and feelings.
I love teaching DBT skills, which can help people regulate their emotions and cope with distressing feelings.
