I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am interested in helping alleviate symptoms from unresolved issues in the past that remain present in our daily lives, and mental wellbeing issues that decrease our quality of life. I enjoy working with adults of all ages. I use Internal Family Systems with trauma informed care. I believe this modality can help many of us who tried other ways and are still seeking peace of mind.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I follow a trauma-informed perspective. I want to build rapport, it is most important that we build a trusting relationship so we can move towards healing. I want to learn as much about you as you are comfortable sharing, so we can wait before we dive into more difficult topics. Tell me what is bringing you to therapy, what have you liked and not liked about therapy in the past, and what you want to focus on. I will speak to you about IFS, how it helps, and how we get started.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Trust building, strength-base approach, increasing tools for clients to use during difficult challenges the may occur outside the therapeutic environment. From personal experience, I strongly believe behavioral health therapy can give us the support we need to live a better life for us and the people we care about.
