I have spent my career supporting people confronting various life challenges. Participating in grassroots politics for social justice and providing case management in the criminal justice system, introduced me to the underserved. This was the catalyst for pursuing an education in clinical social work. During graduate school, I interned for a government housing agency, and provided individual therapy and psychoeducational classes at a Veterans Affairs hospital. After graduation, I spent several years providing individual and group therapy in an inpatient facility that simultaneously addressed chemical dependency and mental health complications. I also had the privilege of being a medical social worker for a local hospital. I was stationed at a primary care clinic where I collaborated with patients, their families and providers, to achieve health care goals. I met patients at doctor appointments, visited their homes, and assisted in their discharge planning from hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. This gave me insight into the impact of poor physical health on emotional wellbeing, the importance of autonomy in end of life care, and the reality of caregiver burnout. With in these various community mental health roles, it became clear that regardless of which disenfranchised population was facing social injustice, or the specific hardship a person was enduring, there was a common theme. People want to be heard. They want to be valued. Twenty years in the helping field taught me that without the basic tenant of dignity, no technique or therapeutic approach will make a difference. And I can assure you that you ARE worthy of dignity. You are also worthy of love, honor, trust, and respect. I know this may be hard to believe. And as trauma and grief start to accumulate, positive self regard can be replaced with criticism. Feelings of hopelessness and shame become overwhelming. Joy disappears, self-care is nonexistent, and isolation is preferred. Despair and loss of community may lead to addictive behaviors and even thoughts of dying. The time to process past hurts is now. You can create and nurture healthy relationships, increase self-esteem, interact with others more meaningfully, and learn to trust your voice. You have the ability and authority to rewrite your narrative. Choosing therapy takes grit and determination. You have these traits! And you are not alone. It is an honor to accompany you during this sometimes difficult, but tremendously rewarding journey. I am committed to providing an accepting and encouraging space to allow you to heal. Regardless of your religion, sexual orientation, or lifestyle preferences, you can be yourself with me.
