Hi! I feel most fulfilled and effective helping others make better connections within themselves and with others - simply, my vision for wellness centers around better relationships. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) that has been practicing for 6 years, with advanced training in psychoanalytic methods through Emory University's Psychoanalytic Institute and mentalization-based treatment (MBT) through GPDI at McLean Hospital, affiliated with Harvard Medical School.
Not only is my work focused in the area of relational wellness, my therapeutic approach is also relational in nature, which is to say it is fundamentally a collaboration with you. I like to think of my role not as an expert directing you, rather another person and another mind sitting beside you as we work together on addressing your challenges and meeting your goals. I would describe my style as warm, humorous, and educational.
An aim I have for everyone I work with is for them to feel more comfortable socially, to begin to believe that what they feel inside themselves can be experienced by others and to better experience the internal world of others - to see themselves from the outside and others from the inside.
