Hello! My name is Bernadette, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe that you are the expert of your life and I am here to support and provide guidance while we work through your concerns. I work with children, teens and adults who have experienced trauma, who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, low self-esteem, grief/loss and more.
I am trauma informed, person centered, strength based, while always taking into account the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of my clients. I will explore, with you, your concerns through a wide variety of lenses, which include your environment, family dynamics, and culture.
I look forward to working side by side with you to find solutions to your presenting concerns in a safe and confidential environment. My goal is to provide a safe place and build a trusting relationship where you will feel comfortable to embark on your journey of healing.
