Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I have more than 15 years of clinical practice and supervision of other clinicians. I am a very client-centered therapist, so my main goal is to meet the clients where they are and support them through the change process. No one knows you better than you do; sometimes, you just need a little help figuring it all out. I work with adults who are looking to make some changes in their lives. They may not know what they need to change or how, but they are "mostly" ready and motivated to do the work.

My approach to therapy

My treatment style is most aligned with the theoretical basis of Self Psychology. I believe that when the focus is on self-esteem regulation and maintenance of a solid sense of self/self cohesion, then you learn and understand your full capabilities and can gain trust that you will be okay.

What you can expect from me

I like to consider myself very down-to-earth, open, and inviting. This is a judgment-free zone, that will allow you to explore, learn and grow. I am passionate about helping people change their lives and assisting them in understanding that we all need help at some point, so there should be no shame or distress in seeking understanding and healing.
