LCSW, 15 years of experience
If you've ever felt your therapist was just nodding along and not offering much, or worse, judging you and jumping to conclusions, I encourage you to give it another go. I've studied extensively in Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and tailor my approach to custom fit you. I'm continually learning and honing my craft so that when you come to therapy, your life changes for the better. Book me with your partner(s) to shake up your relationship status quo and forge a path to the relationship(s) of your dreams! Not ready for relationship? I'm here to get to the root of your issues with self-esteem and self-worth and with you, awaken a more vibrant version of yourself. If you're on the fence about therapy, book one appointment and see where it takes you.
In the first session you will experience the immediate benefit of working with a highly trained therapist. We'll learn a bit about one another and set goals for our work together as well as make agreements about approach to therapy. You will leave the first session with a sense of “fit” with me as a therapist and determine if you’d like to proceed with therapy.
I don't just listen and nod. I actively engage the client in therapy and ask lots of questions. I provide feedback to the client and I also elicit feedback on the therapy process itself to make adjustments and ensure we're on the same page. Be ready to question everything in therapy with me.
Clients wanting to explore their own histories of anxiety, depression, trauma, or similar concerns and clients working to improve their closest relationships including relationships with their selves are best suited to work with me. Individuals exploring their identity or couples, polycules, and families looking to better understand and improve their relationships will find a good therapist can breakthrough the impasse and challenge old patterns and ways of thinking.
I have expertise in narrative therapy having trained under some of it's best minds.
CBT is a core component of my training as a licensed clinical social worker.
