Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

Our exposure to stress and trauma is more common than we let on. What we carry within us already, whether through our experiences with racism or discrimination, childhood upbringing, loss, illness or other life events, also informs our repetitive ways of thinking and behaving that may not be helpful to our mental well-being. Despite the prevalence of trauma, we also have the capacity for resiliency. My goal is to tap into this strength by offering the support, skills and interventions that can increase our sense of purpose and thrive.

My clients are all unique and require careful consideration and listening when discussing their needs and goals. They want to be heard and they need a well-seasoned professional to assist them in clearly defining what has brought them to seek therapy and what direction they see themselves headed in. Some people know exactly why they came and what they want, and some people have an intuition that something is "not quite right" in their lives and need a therapist to help them sort it out. It's ok. I meet you where you are!

As a trauma informed generalist, my ideal client will be open to working with different modalities but is comfortable with discussing the mind-body connection as well as a systems perspective. I am most interested in working with clients who carry multiple identities (racial, gender, sexual) as I will maintain infinite curiosity about the many parts of you. Deepening self awareness and making meaning out of difficult lived experiences is what drives me in my pursuit of helping others. Acceptance of what is and an understanding of self is the key to real empowerment. I hope to be a guide in your journey toward recovery.

Wouldn't it be great if your therapist didn't just listen to you, but helped YOU listen to yourself? You know, that Self that gets lost among all your responsibilities and commitments and social media and stress and all the things you tell yourself...all that stuff that makes you feel fragmented and overwhelmed. I love helping people discover themselves amidst the noise of life. Understanding yourself is the key to getting "unstuck" and moving towards success, healing, and growth.

Starting the therapeutic process can feel overwhelming & daunting. Finding the right fit takes effort & commitment, with the possibility of disappointment. With so much uncertainty the process can feel frustrating & hopeless ,but taking the first step to meet with a clinician to have a conversation and get a sense of their personality and clinical style can alleviate the anxiety behind the unknown & endless "what if " questions you may have. Some issues I have been able to help clients with are: relationship problems, anxiety, grief, depression, life transitions, developing healthy coping strategies, & overcoming past trauma(s).
