Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Accepting clients Last Updated 26 days ago

Sometimes our thoughts, emotions, and past experiences can get in the way of us experiencing internal peace and living the life we desire. I believe that everyone possesses positive, innate tools that can help them conquer life’s challenges and reach personal growth. I have a passion for encouraging individuals to identify and become the best version of themselves possible. As a trauma-informed clinician, I have helped clients navigate through life's challenges including but not limited to: stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, self-esteem/self-worth, and life transitions.

My compassionate, strengths-based and collaborative approach aims at helping clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and improve overall self-care. During sessions, therapeutic methods used may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Self-Compassion, Mindfulness practices, and Breathing Techniques. Honoring the importance of the therapeutic relationship, I offer an empathic, nonjudgmental space that welcomes vulnerability, personal reflection, and exploration. I recognize that seeking additional support through therapy is a courageous step and look forward to the opportunity to support you along your journey towards peace and healing!
