Are you looking to develop more self-awareness, reduce stress and find life more meaningful? Therapy can be a useful tool to aid in this process. Our work together may include processing life experiences, identify current emotional responses, and engaging in skill building work to improve coping. Together, we can work through the current challenges you may be facing and identify positive paths toward change and healing.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings. I utilize therapeutic techniques that are well-researched and found to be empirically valid and effective.
I view therapy as a process of supporting your progress toward resiliency, self-awareness, and increased life satisfaction. Please email to set up a consultation.
