As a licensed clinical social worker and addictions specialist, my goal in our therapeutic relationship is to provide a safe space for you to reconnect either with yourself or with other like-minded women. We spend so much time and energy meeting the world's expectations that we often forget (or never learn) to define our own. I aim to use our time together to foster a connection that allows you to discover, explore and heal the authentic you!
I have a passion for providing education, grounding, and direction for women in transitional stages of life. My expertise includes (but is not limited to) work in the following areas: Identity development, codependency, attachment disruptions, trauma (including religious), work/school/life transitions, relationship building and re-entry/reintegration. My approach is both conversational and psychodynamic to allow us to genuinely connect. This fundamental element then allows tailoring a plan to your specific needs.
I will guide you in discovering and healing your authentic core through identity exploration, community development, and empowerment! My door is open to all including female/male-identifying, non-binary, and two-spirit individuals. I specialize in those with multicultural and ethnic backgrounds. I aim to provide a warm and non-judgmental environment to help you evolve!
