About My Clients
I love working with adult clients in all stages of life and experiences, including those that are new to therapy. I believe in a collaborative approach with my clients as I see us as a team working together. I appreciate input and feedback from my clients to help ensure they get the most out of our time together and can feel relief sooner. My years of experience and real life strategies can help clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, trauma, grief and loss.
My Background and Approach
The real life strategies that I have to offer you will come from a combination of years of experience as well as from your individual situation. I always find it best to work together with clients to find solutions and to identify options. I believe a strength based approach to be helpful in realizing the warrior you already are, to build on those strengths that maybe you forgot were there. I have had lots of success in helping clients find healthier ways to cope with depression, anxiety, managing stress and improve communication and self care. I encourage clients to consider seeing situations through different perspectives so they can figure out where true, long lasting change can come from. I have been trained in EMDR, a treatment modality that can help people feeling stuck in past or recent traumas of all kind. I also have a passion for helping individuals navigate healthier relationships with clear and manageable boundaries.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have known I wanted to be a social worker from a young age and have continued to feel a great deal of passion for my work. An important part of my work is to practice good self care. I do this by enjoying hobbies, spending time with friends and family, listening to podcasts and walking. I love dogs! I volunteer for an organization that trains shelter dogs to be service animals for Veterans who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder and/or traumatic brain injuries. I foster the dogs to help get them ready to be placed with a veteran. Don't be surprised if one of the dog's in my care makes a random appearance on screen during our session, although I try to keep that to a minimum, sometimes it can't be helped :)
