I am a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience as a mental health therapist. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel heard, validated and empowered. My goal as your therapist is to empower you and to give you the tools you need for positive change in your life in a safe and non-judgmental space. I am here to meet you where you are and guide you towards your desired goal.
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. In our sessions together, you will be an active participant and I will meet you with compassion, so you can overcome whatever is holding you back and find hope for a new beginning.
I have experience working with individuals on a wide variety of issues. I have a strength-based, solution-focused and person-centered approach.
My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality.
I utilize CBT to help change unhelpful or unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.
I use this to help one focus in the moment, aiming over time to experience day to day situations and stressors in a nonjudgmental way.
I focus on strengths and not deficits, centered around the idea that the client is the agent of change.
