I am a licensed clinical social worker, with a background in macro/mezzo social work and medical social work, and a career in nonprofits before earning my MSSW. In grad school, I completed a qualitative thesis project focusing on the experiences of queer young adults in rural Appalachia. I've been working as a therapist for the last several years.
I approach each individual as the expert in their own life. My goal is to help you access within yourself the way to freedom, peace, and safety. Modalities that I pull from include: ACT, CBT, Mindfulness based therapies including MBCT, ERP, and Motivational Interviewing.
During our first session, I will gather a lot of background information and try to get a clear picture of what you are experiencing on a day to day level. I'd also like to hear about your goals of treatment and make a plan for us to reach them.
