About My Clients
I work with individuals of ages 7 and up who may be experiencing issues with anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, adjustments/transitions, behavioral problems, and more. Sometimes we hit a harder patch in life and just need someone to listen and be a sounding board for them. If you are someone who is wanting to better understand who they are or what it is you're experiencing, we will work to figure out what's going on and provide skills/strategies to manage symptoms.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in the state of Minnesota. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with my masters degree in social work. I have 8+ years of experience working with individuals, children, and families in their home, office and at school. I understand that as individuals we may struggle to speak out/speak up for ourselves, as parents we have a lot to juggle and prioritize between ourselves, our partner or children, and as a community member we may not always be supported by the systems that were built to protect us but don't. Any issues that you experienced can be shared and processed in the therapy space that I strive to make supportive, nonjudgmental and safe.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I acknowledge that starting or participating in therapy can be a daunting and scary process but also very rewarding as well. I strive to help support and work collaboratively with you to navigate through these different loopholes and difficulties we encounter on the daily. It's very important to have a culturally sensitive lens that creates an understanding that we are all so unique in our own ways. So many different elements and experiences we may have had shaped who we are today. I hope to help build and plant seeds with you to work on issues you feel are important in aiding you to take control of your life, be your authentic self and move towards healing. We may sometimes get stuck, but we don't have to stay there.
