About My Clients
Life can be incredibly challenging to navigate. Experiencing negative events in childhood and/or adulthood can greatly affect your thoughts, feelings and beliefs about yourself, others, and the world in general, which can make each day difficult. I also know that these are things that can be improved. Learning skills to manage or change unhelpful beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and finding healthy ways to create the life that you want, are things that we can work on together.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Individual Social Worker with Supervisor designation (LISW-S). My therapy approach is supportive, encouraging and nonjudgmental. I acknowledge that your experiences, needs and goals will be unique, and that means your treatment should be too. There’s not one type of therapy that works for everyone, so to ensure that your care is individualized, my work is informed by treatment modalities such as Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In therapy, I’ll help you clarify what you want for yourself and for your life, and I'll support you in exploring and addressing challenges that get in the way of your goals. Processing past and current experiences, learning skills to manage unhelpful beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and finding healthy ways to create the life that you want, are things that we could address.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that no matter what’s happened in the past, or how hard today or tomorrow might seem, things can get better, and therapy is a tool that can help you achieve what you are wanting for yourself and for your life. I know that you have strengths that can be ignited to change your life for the better. I also believe that there can be positives in what you may perceive to be your weaknesses; there can be a balance between both acceptance and transformation at the same time!
