LCSW, 12 years of experience
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in the field for 12 years. I've been Licensed since 2017. I have experience working with a range of people and different ages. I've been trained in Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Circle of Security Parenting, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and have worked with young children, adolescents, and adults. I have been doing agency work for the past 12 years as well and continue to work full-time. I believe in treating a person holistically and drawing from strengths that they may already possess. With this approach, clients are able to help uncover their abilities, use their support system or gain assistance in developing one, and make long-lasting changes. I use a variety of evidence-based practices that draw from CBT, solution focused, ACT, and DBT, and others. I also take a trauma informed approach. I have a goal of owning my own practice but set up as a therapeutic coffee shop. I am available in person and via telehealth on evenings and weekends only.
You will expect to feel heard, validated, and supported. You will be welcomed with a warm smile and with no judgement. You will be able to feel like yourself and feel comfortable to be open and honest. You will be treated with respect and dignity.
My biggest strengths are working with clients with depression, anxiety, parenting/family relationship issues, trauma, adolescents, and women's issues.
I have found working with I work with children ages 6+, adolescents, and adults have been where I have made the most impact.
I feel it is important to use someone's strengths that they already have in order to help them make progress in their lives. I have used strength-based techniques for the past 10+ years.
