Hello! I am licensed clinical social worker who has been in the field for about 17 years. I have worked in a variety of settings, predominantly in mental health, but also in academia and community organizing/administrative. I have worked with a variety of populations from expecting parents/pregnant moms, 0-5 (early childhood), teens to adults. Currently, I have made a shift in my work and have decided to serve others dealing with grief and loss. My purpose is to come alongside you and help you navigate the terrain of grief, along with any other co-occurring conditions, such as depression or anxiety, but not limited to. As a practitioner, I believe in getting to the root of the problem and living a balanced, holistic life. I will bring this perspective into my practice to help you achieve your goals, as well as, help you live a more fulfilled life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will review intake documents, as well as, brief introductions. I will ask what prompted you to seek therapy and your expectations of our time together. Once we have identified the challenges you are facing and your expectations, we will discuss goal setting , expectations of the therapeutic relationship and logistics in how we will move forward together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a down to earth individual that is empathic, caring and understanding. Life's challenges have made me who I am today and I am a better practitioner because of it. I care about my clients and dedicated to help them become the best version of themselves by utilizing practices that are evidence based and up to date. I build therapeutic relationships that are based on mutual respect and trust.
