Therapist Overview
We can all use someone to talk to, someone who will listen and someone to act as a guide through tough times. Often, problems in one area of life can affect many other areas, and can feel overwhelming. Coping mechanisms that served you well in the past may no longer work, yet are ingrained, unconscious and difficult to change. You are not alone and you can bring about positive change! I look forward to you reaching out. I employ many modalities of therapy, depending on what the client wants and needs. Some of these are mindfulness based practice, cognitive reframing, focusing on holistic wellness and life coaching. Above all, I value your perspectives and experience and believe a strong therapeutic alliance is key to bringing about positive change. I have my MSW and training in interpersonal clinical social work. My background is eclectic and diverse. I have worked extensively with people who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression and substance abuse issues. I believe that recovery is possible for everyone! My approach is strength based, client-directed, and wellness and recovery oriented.
