Hi there, I'm LuAnn, a licensed clinical social worker. I have been in practice for over 20 years. I help individuals with issues like depression, anxiety, relationship issues, aging, life coaching, and more. I utilize CBT, IFS, Therapeutic Tapping for anxiety, EMDR, and supportive and empowering treatment modalities. One of my goals is not to create blame but to open up to self-compassion as a way to move forward. I help people explore their past as a way of providing information that will help you create new possibilities. The past does not have to define you; your actions, dreams, and hopes will move you forward on your journey.
I have a supportive, curious, soft, and funny style. Humor is healing, and being able to laugh is often helpful. I listen not only to what you say but how you express it. I am looking at your movements, your eyes seeking additional information about what might be going on internally for you.
The getting to know you session is about finding out who you are, how you got here, and where you want to go. We'll cover paperwork and confidentiality details and work towards developing a treatment plan together. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.

My ideal client is ready to do the work. It is important to own your behaviors and not take on the behaviors of others as your own. Once you understand that others' behaviors belong to them and your behaviors belong to you, you are free to live your life with self-acceptance and compassion.
