I am a career changer, having worked with international students before moving to social work, in which my experiences include: psychiatric inpatient, medical (oncology), and mental health outpatient settings.
Put simply: my curiosity and empathy for people is what drives me through my career and through my current work with clients.
I have a Master of Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
I help adults struggling with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, boundaries, self-esteem, shame, and overwhelm. I use mindfulness and self-compassion techniques paired with humor and warmth.
In our first session, I like to learn what you and like and don't like from a therapist, first to ensure we're a good fit and that you have the best care. Then I like to hear about your goals for treatment and your values, what makes you you. I believe that all treatment should align with your goals, not any agenda from me!
