Essence of Care Counseling

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Last Updated 30+ days ago

My approach as a therapist leads with empathy, curiosity and humor to look at at the “mind and body connection” that influences thoughts, feelings, patterns and relationships. We will use a strengths based approach to harness the strengths that you already have inside of you and identify goals and practical methods for achieving your therapeutic goals.

I have worked with individuals navigating life transitions, academic stressors, interpersonal relationship conflict, trauma, self esteem complexities, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, personality disorders, substance addiction, psychotic disorders and much more.
