My ideal client is actively contemplating making changes in their life. They are prepared to discuss, explore, and process their trauma history and to find meaning in their experiences. They are able to work towards identifying how they would like to see their quality of life change (for example, reduce and better manage anxiety) and are prepared to take the necessary steps to do so. Additionally, the client can tolerate being challenged when their thinking or behaviors are inconsistent with their goals.

In our relationships with ourselves or others, we all have times where the weight of life can make us feel off balance... In my practice my goal is to take the client from where they are and explore individualized solutions that restore a sense of alignment. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses an integrative approach, drawing from Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), and Trauma Focused therapies.

Additionally, they believe there are many ways to address previous traumas and can identify preferences for treatment. For example, a client who is open to incorporating journaling, meditation, or other holistic practices in addition to traditional talk therapy. My ideal client intentionally commits to the therapeutic process and is open to collaboration in the therapeutic space.

My ideal client would be someone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired of struggling mentally. This person would have years of experience with close relationship failure and consistent loss, have seen or been a victim of domestic violence, been verbally or physically abused as a child, and or experienced poverty. They will have either ignored the signs or continued to survive because of fear of what others would think. The person will need to understand what they are experiencing is not their fault, and their goal is to break free of the cycle that has continued for so long.

I have advanced training in trauma focused therapy, and have specialized in working with individuals who have experienced trauma.
**offering only teletherapy at this time***. Therapy can be an absolute necessity and I truly celebrate you for taking the first step towards a happier, healthier, and resilient life. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, difficulty adjusting to change, or the experience of trauma and abuse, you should not have to go through these matters alone. I truly believe that every individual has the ability to be resilient and sometimes we just need a little help getting in touch with that side of ourselves.

I believe in meeting clients where they are at! Every person is resilient. I intend our collaboration to remind you of your strengths, provide you tools to weather the storms of life, and a safe space to gain insight into your truest self. I come to social work from a social justice background and recognize that trauma and oppression are often intertwined. Acknowledging systemic issues is a vital part of my practice, particularly for youth and families directly impacted by it. Teaching you to advocate successfully on your own behalf, whether it be in your relationships or larger systems, is also essential.

I utilize Trauma Focused CBT and the ARC Framework to treat the symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-injurious behaviors, school related issues, and other stressors.
Adolescence and young adulthood are an important time of discovery in an individuals life that comes with many emotional junctures, milestone celebrations, and stages of growth. I believe that by creating a safe and non-judgmental environment, clients can feel supported during these times and increase personal confidence allowing them to make positive decisions, meet their goals and set the foundation for future success.
