*Please be aware that sessions begin at the top of the hour, irrespective of time booked (i.e. an appointment booked for 2:15 or 2:30 will begin at 2:00).* My name is Savannah and I want to thank you for considering me as a partner on your journey to inner growth, safety, and peace. Psychotherapy is an endeavor that can feel uncomfortable at times, but together we can work to troubleshoot your "hang-ups" and insecurities to smooth out your path ahead. Do you find that no matter how hard you try, you continue to gravitate towards situations that cause you emotional pain, that leave you feeling exposed and vulnerable? Do you wonder why other people in your life seem so happy but you feel like you just can't "get it right?" Do you want to learn more about how and why it sometimes feels like you are your own worst enemy to progress? There is resolution to what you're experiencing and I want to work with you on your personalized quest for growth and safety. What have you been through? What recordings have been stuck on-loop in your mind? What kinds of characters have you crossed paths with in your life? Let's work together to figure it out and get you "un-jammed." I graduated with a Master of Social Work from Tulane University and I am licensed in the state of California to practice independently (LCSW #76380). I have years of experience working in a variety of psychiatric settings; when I am not seeing clients on this platform, I continue to work today in a local inpatient psychiatric hospital.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will meet you where you are - a theme that will continue throughout our work together. We will also review some information you provided in your intake paperwork and I will ask you some additional questions about your history to help build a foundational perspective of what may be contributing to your struggle.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
We can effectively work through issues related to major depression, relationships, anxiety, chronic and acute mental illness, addiction, among a variety of other issues.
