About me
I am an experienced clinical social worker with expertise in the areas of trauma, substance use disorders and sexual issues.
I embrace a strengths-based approach of social work which emphasizes collaboration with a client to identify and utilize the strengths they already possess to achieve the goals that are important to them. While everyone comes into therapy seeking change of some type, I meet them where they are and examine with them their whole lives to find integrative solutions for better mental health and happier relationships.
Past experiences are important to my therapeutic approach, but I am goal oriented and solution focused.
My therapeutic presence is informal, relaxed, compassionate, safe and generously infused with humor and fun. My sessions are online only allowing me considerable flexibility in scheduling.
