About My Clients

Would you like to be more confident? Confidence in yourself accounts for success in so many parts of life. How do we become more confident? Many people doubt in their abilities to make meaningful change in their life, but with caring guidance and practical problem solving with a trusted guide, you will be amazed by what you can achieve. I have been a social worker for 10+ years; I come from a background in education and executive recruitment.

My Background and Approach

I've been a social worker for about 11 years working with adolescents and adults. I genuinely enjoy learning about your life and helping you develop the tools you need to succeed. My approach is client-centered. Therapy doesn't look the same for everyone. My client-centered treatment style takes into account the need to be flexible and open to trying different interventions. Special training in trauma-informed creative art therapy adds to my repertoire of clinical interventions with creative modalities I can draw upon to best serve my clients. I like to "keep it real" with clients -- I use humor in session and offer a non-judgmental ear; I want you to feel at ease in session.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the power of creative expression in helping clients discover inner strengths and resources. I am an artist and comedy writer/performer; I love cats and drawing is my happy place.
