About me
I am an experienced social worker with a passion for varied human experiences. I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety that comes with perfectionism, OCD, trauma, and other mental health conditions.
Are you struggling to find fulfillment in some areas of your life? Are you worrying about the future? That you'll never be able to own a home? Reach financial stability? Have close relationships with family and friends? A romantic partner? Perhaps your work is leaving you with a feeling of purposelessness. You're a bright person with many goals, but you're unsure how to tackle them. Therapy can be a place to process the emotions surrounding these, process past trauma, reframe how you see yourself and reevaluate how you can take charge of your role in the things that happen around you. Things don't have to be the way they are now.
I work with young professionals to find the realization and fulfillment of their talent and potential. My role is to help you to examine where you are in your life and to help you restructure how you think about yourself and how you go about taking control of yourself in the world around you. I will be your guide and walk beside you on your journey.
My therapeutic style is best described as transparent, supportive, open, curious, funny, and creative. Following a productive session, I hope that you will leave feeling elevated, confident, and unburdened with a new perspective on things. If you are ready to start empowering yourself, please get in touch with me to set up a consultation.
