About me
Hello, I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has an extensive background in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health issues.
Welcome! As a licensed clinical social worker with over 6 years of experience, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore and address their mental health concerns. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration, and I strive to build a trusting and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship with each of my clients. I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and healing, and I work to empower my clients to tap into their inner strengths and resources to create positive change in their lives.
I specialize in trauma and have a deep understanding of the complex effects it can have on individuals. My approach is informed by evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness and relaxation. My aim is to provide a therapy style that fits your needs, and make sure you get the most out of our time together.
I understand that seeking help can be daunting. I want you to know that I am here to listen and support you. I understand the courage it takes to start the healing process. If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to help. Let's work together to create a safe space where you can share your story and start your journey towards healing.
