LCSW, 12 years of experience
Your experiences, ideas, and perceptions are important to me. No matter what issue you are seeking help with, I am here to listen and guide you on a path that is specific to you and your needs. I am a down-to-earth, gentle, and kind person who wants to learn about what you’re going through in your own words. Your experiences and aspirations are at the heart of the work we will do together. If you are looking for a therapist who cares to see the real you and is genuinely interested in helping you find a path that suits your needs, I would love to have the opportunity to speak with you. I've got 8 years of experience in outpatient therapy. I enjoy working with people who feel like they are giving therapy one last try because they have not had much luck before. I enjoy working with people who have chronic mental illness which seems like they are stuck with maintaining their progress. I am more than willing and able to work with anybody who is ready to give this a try!
At our first session, clients can expect me to be curious about them, curious about their readiness to do work and sensitive to their needs. I have a lot of questions with my intake because I don't want to miss the chance at getting as full of a picture of who you are, before we set off together.

Are you thinking that things are ok but they could be much better? Or at least, a lot less dark and stagnant? I know the importance of finding someone who lets you take your time, respects your emotional development and upholds your dignity. I want to help you make sense of the life that you have and turn it into the one you want. Growth looks different for all of us. What blocks us from it might not block everybody else, too. We are all doing the best we can and deserve the best not just for, but from ourselves. Do you want a helping hand and open heart to help you reconnect with the center of who you are at the center?
