Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker, I have been in the field for over 12 years now. I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of setting as a social worker, in clinical research, I've worked supporting mothers in NICU, non profit and emergency assistance, crisis intevnetion and Veterinary Medicine, pet loss and grief counseling.

My approach to therapy

I try to create a warm no judgemental environment for my clients. I pull fron many types of interventions but mostly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that keep you feeling stuck and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) / Mindfulness: Helps you build psychological flexibility and stay grounded in the present moment.

What you can expect from me

Our first session would focus on your treatment goals for therapy and working together to create the therapeutic environment you need
