LMSW-C, 7 years of experience
My background is in social work, which means I meet you where you are at. I specialize in anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, and grief. I am also certified in Gerontology and have experience in end of life care, dementia care, and medical social work. In college, I minored in Anthropology, because I am fascinated by the human experience, what makes us human, and how we all can relate to one another.
In our first session, we will use the time to acclimate you to the therapeutic setting and our therapeutic relationship. I will answer any questions you may have, and we will go over the reason you are interested in starting therapy. The first session is a great place for us to not only get to know one another, but to get to know how therapy will work for you specifically moving forward.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to not only listen but to HEAR you, to provide validation, support, and empathy without judgment. My goal is to create a safe space for you to share and process parts of your experience in life that may be difficult to navigate and verbalize.
I love working with...people! As much as therapeutic engagement can teach you, I know I will also learn from you. After all, aren't we all just trying to grow?
In our space, these things are true: Your feelings and experiences are valid. You will be not only listened to, but heard. You will not be judged. I will hold a space for you and your experiences. As much as therapeutic engagement can teach you, I know I will also learn from you. I will create safety for you in the light and in the dark.
You are the expert of your own life, and you will always be in the driver's seat of our sessions.
