I’m a clinical therapist and social worker who has over 20 years experience working in the field. I’ve worked with individuals with depression, anxiety, histories of trauma, serious mental illness, and substance abuse. I take a client-centered approach with treatment influenced by mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques, in addition to other treatment methods including DBT and strengths-based perspective.
Taking the first step is usually the hardest part, so I appreciate anyone who has the courage to start this process with an open heart. My goal as a treatment provider is to provide empathetic assistance, advocacy, and support in a safe environment free of judgement. I believe that every person is doing their personal best, but we all need a little help to reach our full potential. I truly believe that here are no mistakes in life, only lessons.
Life isn’t easy, but it is never harder than when we feel alone and without safe supports. The goal of treatment is to lessen those feelings of isolation while simultaneously becoming empowered to overcome any current or future obstacles that may arise.
