As a clinical social worker, I work from a strengths-based, person-centered, and deeply collaborative perspective. We become a team in your therapy journey. My approach to therapy is integrative, and I draw from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic frameworks to support individual needs and goals. I also believe humor can play an important role in the therapeutic process. Clients work hard in therapy, and moments of levity can help reframe and normalize struggles in a positive or relieving manner.
I primarily work with adults experiencing difficulties related to depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, trauma, grief, or coping with stress and change. First and foremost, I believe that you are the person most expert about you. My role is to help you identify goals and to help you find the right path for you towards those goals.
I want you to know that I understand how hard it can be to take the first step into therapy. I can assure you of a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space to begin your journey of healing and growth. Therapy is one of the most amazing acts of self-compassion and we will work together to help you create meaningful and lasting change in your life.
