While I have been licensed for 9 years, I have over 14 years of experience in the field of social work. I have the privilege of working with various populations from young children to adults in their journeys through life with LGBTQ+ identities, varying socioeconomic status, multicultural experiences, and religious backgrounds.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Therapy begins with the intake process. First, you will review your therapist policies and procedures, talk about fees, and identify emergency contacts. Second, you will discuss what to expect during therapy, including the type of therapy, the length of treatment, and the risks and benefits. Third, you will explore what brings you to therapy and form a treatment plan, including the type of therapy, how often you will attend therapy, your short- and long-term goals, and the steps you will take to achieve them. Over time, you and your therapist may edit your treatment plan to be sure it describes your goals and steps you need to take. After intake, you will attend regular therapy sessions through video, called telehealth. Participation in therapy is voluntary - you can stop at any time. At some point, you will achieve your goals. At this time, you will review your progress, identify supports that will help you maintain your progress, and discuss how to return to therapy if you need it in the future.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I strive to partner with individuals and provide an affirming space as we journey together towards healing, growth, and acceptance. I believe it is important to be seen as our authentic selves and doing so encourages healing. This also shines a light on our strengths and empowers us to use those strengths to the best of our abilities.
