As my real-life Social Worker Hero, Brene Brown, stated, "Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals... compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared community." I truly believe that this represents my framework for conducting effective and rewarding therapy.
I have over seventeen years in the Social Work Profession treating and working with a diverse range of clients from many ages and backgrounds. I started Shore Integrated Counseling to help clients progress in their lives and help ameliorate some of the debilitating symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction, grieving, etc, through integrative therapies.
At Shore Integrated Counseling, we know how difficult it is to take the first step towards therapy. We provide a safe, judgement free, nurturing environment that is conducive to healing and progressing in your life.
