(she/her)
I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct when needed. It is my intent to develop a strong therapeutic alliance to support your treatment goals and objectives. Additionally, I offer consulting services that may involve working with attorneys, educational systems, or serve as a liaison to support our most vulnerable individuals/groups in the community.
Our initial sessions focus on building trust. I aim to create an environment that is judgement free and focused on your safety, growth, and well being. We will have a dialogue about your goals and expectations from treatment. In the middle of our journey, you may be challenged as you face emotions or situations that were not being dealt and caused problems. Our journey will offer an opportunity to dive deeper into core issues and allow healing to take place. In the end, you will have gained self-awareness, tools, resources, and self-confidence to negotiate with life's challenges.
I work with children, youth, and adults using therapeutic modalities (ie. Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Tx (CBT), Trauma Informed, Solution Focused) tailored to empower my clients with tools needed for resilience, balance and wellness.
As a clinician, my background enables me to be an effective social worker who is comfortable counseling diverse groups of people. I primarily work with adults and adolescents helping clients manage phase of life transitions, grief/loss, and difficulty with interpersonal relationships, Depression, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Adjustment disorder.
