I've worked in the social work/social justice field for more than 15 years. My clinical experience ranges from working in hospitals, outpatient mental health clinics, nonprofits, and private practices with populations and people from all walks of life. My hope is that we can work to get to the heart of the issues you are struggling with so you can progressively move forward.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. The goal is to help you with specific issues you are facing as therapy is not forever but instead to give you the tools you need to live your best life.
