Hi! I'm an LCSW, which means I like to look at the person within the context of their environment, and not "what's wrong with you." My style is warm and direct, and I've been in the field for over 10 years, whcih means I've worked with children, teenagers and adults as well. I am comfortable working with people with anxiety and depression, but also people with ADHD, or who think they fall somewhere on the neurodivergent spectrum.
With a broad range of experience, I believe in working with the client to support their growth. As a solution-focused therapist, I recognize that stressors and painful feelings are a part of life, and that they can sometimes feel overwhelming, but that people are still trying their best and want to achieve their goals. Using a mix of everything, including strength-based therapies, CBT, DBT and mindfullness, I work with the client to create or regain a sense of balance and well-being.
I like to think of a first session as a better way to get to know each other, and the way I do therapy. I like to use it to give you a space to talk about what is bringing you into therapy and what you are hoping to get out of therapy, as well as identifying some possible ways to get there that match best with your own strengths.
