I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 5 years of experience working with both youth and adults.
I believe all people deserve a compassionate, non-judgmental space where they can explore practical strategies to deal with hard thoughts, emotions, and situations. I focus on easy-to-use tools that you can use to enable you to live the life that you want to live.
I have worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, and family concerns. My work has focused heavily on substance misuse and LGBTQIA+ issues.
Above all, my goal is to meet you where you are and center your own experience and preferences in collaboratively choosing and practicing strategies for achieving your goals.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Mood disorders, Post-traumatic stress, Self-love
Clinical approaches: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing
