About me
Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice since 2014.
When encountering challenging life transitions, unexpected circumstances, and difficult personal struggles, the stressors and uncertainties that we deal with can often leave us feeling un-grounded and off-center. Sometimes, we may find ourselves stuck in a place that does not resonate with the vision we have of our most healthy and whole selves. Particularly during these times, I believe that being able to find and work with a therapist whose approach matches our needs can provide long-term benefits in our ability to establish and/or reconnect with our internal sense of strength, healing, fulfillment and emotional wellness.
My therapeutic approach stems from a deep respect that I have for the resilience and capacity for change that I see, time and time again, in clients with whom I work. In session, we explore how experiences and personal operating principals shape my clients’ existing perspectives, and then utilize this understanding to achieve the shifts/growth they seek.
I work with clients struggling with depression, trauma, grief/loss, stress management and navigation through life transitions. Together, we find ways to leverage personal strengths, address barriers and undesired patterns, and co-create a path toward achieving optimal health and wellness, according to each client's unique sense of grounding and core values.
