Hi everyone! I’m a LCSW, committed to helping individuals navigate life's adversities and achieve emotional well-being. I focus on providing therapeutic support to clients facing a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, adjustment challenges, grief, and addiction. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and a deep respect for each individual's unique journey. In my therapeutic work, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. My goal is to empower clients to discover their strengths, collaborating to help develop effective blueprints for the future, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives. If you're seeking support on your journey towards mental and emotional health, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work towards positive change and a renewed sense of hope.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session I want to hear your story, I also want to know your strengths, and I would like to know where you want to be. Then we can take the first small step towards discussing how we can get there.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Life can be so complicated and unpredictable, and sometimes we overlook effective solutions because we may feel disoriented and/or dysregulated. I offer the pragmatic approach to things. At times keeping it simple can be the most impactful and viable approach. We just have to find the right path, mindset, and motivation to properly apply this. I feel my strength lies in not overcomplicating matters. I want to help remove you from the labyrinth, not keep you in it or make it longer.
