I'm an LCSW with over 7 years of experience working with groups, individuals and families.
I have unique experience supporting people who are finding it difficult to care for themselves while they take care of others. This includes helping professionals experiencing secondary trauma exposure and burnout, family members caring for those with serious forms of mental or physical illness, and parents managing life changes such as pregnancy, birth and child-rearing.
I am a certified PMH-C (perinatal mental health provider) and am experienced working with young adults managing psychosis, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety and helping professionals coping with secondary trauma and burnout.
I take a client-centered approach to therapy and our work together will be determine by your self determined goals, needs and strengths. Once we set goals together, we can draw upon my experience with ACT, DBT, CBT, and narrative therapy to help you feel capable, empowered, and to ease the weight you are carrying.
I rely on evidence-based methods, while also providing space in therapy sessions that feels, safe, warm and accepting. We are often much harder on ourselves than we are on anyone else. Within our sessions, I hope to provide you with an opportunity to not only receive compassion, but learn to provide it to yourself as well so that you can benefit from the work you put into therapy long after the session has ended.
