About My Clients
In receiving my Masters of Social Work, nearly 10 years ago, I have since worked with many diverse populations including individuals with developmental disabilities, mental health disorders and with K-12 students as a school social worker. I have an appreciation of the differences we share and lso been working as a therapist cocurrently and have been operating in my own private practice helping individuals in my community.
My Background and Approach
As an owner and therapist of my private practice, my approach to therapy is rooted in creating a safe, non-judegemental and collaborative space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I believe in tailoring my therapeutic approach to the unique needs and goals of each individual client; here are some examples of therapeutic approaches that I may incorporate into my practice: CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Approaches. For the last few years, my practice has helped individuals decrease depression and anxiety, allowed clients to become their own advocates and develop confidence and resiliency to help navigate life.
