About My Clients
Clients who have worked with me have often struggled from painful experiences that have led to struggling with substances, relationships, and with their mood. Together we have worked towards the ultimate goal of getting a sense of agency back to feel flexible and resilient with whatever life brings next allowing yourself to feel connected to life as it is happening.
My Background and Approach
My work has been helping clients struggling with addiction, trauma, and grief through a relational model to trust in their own resiliency to achieve their goals. I'm passionate about therapy being an experience that leads to change and self-discovery, and not unwanted advice giving. Using my initial experience as an educator, I continue that passion by providing EMDR consulting services and trainings in my clinical practice focus areas.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My career initially started as an educator working in alternative therapeutic school environments. My experience in those settings led me to feel more help was needed, and the help needed to be more diverse and for the whole family system. This is why I went back to school to become a Clinical Social Worker. I don't believe in any "one right way," to recover and change. I believe in an interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) framework, and that lasting change will happen when we grow more attune to our mind, body, and relationships. Feeling more flexible and resilient leads to a greater sense of connection and being content with life as we would like to live it.
