LCSW
6 years of experience

I have 5 years of experience as a clinician. In addition to excellent rapport building skills, I utilize a combination of several therapeutic orientations including motivational interviewing, strengths-based, person-centered, CBT, DBT, trauma-focused, somatic-based, and mindfulness-based techniques. I believe it’s important to find the right therapist to assist you in your journey. This process can be arduous and can deter people from pursuing counseling. A key part of my clinical practice is to build rapport with my clients to assist them with feeling comfortable sharing difficult topics and issues. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most influential factors in assisting individuals to be successful in therapy and reach their goals.

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

I like to provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment, which encourages my clients to move towards positive transformations without fear or apprehension.
