I am a clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in mental health. I got my start working with youth in foster care, a population that taught me the lasting impact of early life experiences. Over the years, I have worked in various mental health settings; what remained consistent were the importance of the therapeutic relationship, the need for all of us to feel seen and heard, and the value of positive connection with others.
My style is relatively unstructured and involves helping clients gain insight and better understand themselves. Together, we will identify patterns in your life, find the meaning behind whatever symptoms you are experiencing, and bring awareness to underlying thoughts and feelings. That awareness allows you to begin making changes rather than staying stuck in the same old unconscious patterns.
I believe in the healing power of connection and relationship, and my priority is to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and comfortable atmosphere where clients can feel safe examining and talking about all aspects of themselves.
