Experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to fostering holistic well-being. Specializing in a client-centered approach, integrating cognitive behavioral strategies as well as expressive arts to promote comprehensive healing. Experienced in addressing diverse issues, I create a supportive and non-judgmental environment for individuals seeking personalized and integrative therapy. Let's collaboratively explore your path to positive growth and lasting transformation.

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

In the first session, you can expect a warm and collaborative atmosphere with a non-judgmental stance and genuine care. We will work collaboratively to discuss concerns, goals, and challenges. I will provide an overview of the therapeutic process, establishing a trusting relationship, and share insights into how our work together will unfold. Together we will begin laying the foundation for a supportive and personalized therapeutic journey.

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

My greatest strengths as a provider include compassionate understanding of end-of-life dynamics from my hospice social work experience, proficiency in navigating the complexities of impatient psychiatric care, and a holistic approach that integrates traditional clinical methods with expressive arts. Clients benefit from my ability to create a supportive environment that fosters healing through diverse modalities, making my approach truly comprehensive and tailored to each individual's need.
