About My Clients
Emotions can be "scary," but I will help you unpack the heaviness of weighted emotions to feel lighter to live the life you imagined. I am optimistic that I can help you process and explore those emotions to develop healthy techniques further for “taking the control back” in situations. I'll collaborate with you to help you achieve your goals and understand your boundaries. I offer skills, strategies, and feedback to invite new ideas and change.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who holds a Master’s Degree in Social Work from North Carolina State University and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from Duquesne University. I have extensive experience providing substance use and mental health treatment in an outpatient setting by facilitating groups and providing individual therapy. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and families. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and a strength-based approach when meeting with clients to provide a collaborative experience in managing anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. I am passionate about wellness to help individuals uncover mind-body connections to promote an overall active, healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. By using mindful self-compassion and cognitive behavioral skills, I am hopeful that we quiet the hostile critic and work on being our biggest cheerleaders
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I firmly believe in acknowledging client's strengths as they overcome shame and guilt from past life experiences. In doing this, I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to achieve goals and find their "inner voice" to become empowered, more vulnerable and more self-compassionate in their lives.
