LCSW-C, 20 years of experience
I am a licensed clinical social worker who provides therapy to adults. I have over 10+ years working with various clients across the life span. I am affirming and inclusive of all and seek to support others in their life journey. Utilizing my foundational training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I support clients to develop insight into the ways their past experiences influence them in the present and to learn how to utilize a compassionate presence to heal and grow.
In our first session we have brief introductions and some basic info that will allow us to move into the specific reason for seeking support.
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to listen to others, offer compassion and non-judgement. I also bring the belief that we all have more strength than we know and it is my opportunity to help you find that strength and use it for you optimal functioning.
I seek to work with individuals who have decided that they are ready to do the work need to get to their optimal functioning. This client is aware that therapy involves both the client and the therapist working together to uncover and barriers to function and to develop skills that prevent the return of the issues.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and integrative, combining multiple modalities to meet the individual needs of my clients. Utilizing my foundational training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and my training in Cognitive Behavioral Training (CBT), I support clients to develop insight into the ways their past experiences influence them in the present and to learn how to utilize a compassionate presence to heal and grow.
