Having worked in the criminal legal system for over 25 years, I know the importance of interrupting trauma responses, depressive malaise, and anxious thoughts and behaviors as a starting point to recovering the self.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I look forward to creating a space of free expression-- without judgment, where clients walk away feeling seen, heard, and gaining the basic tools to take on life's challenges more confidently than when they first arrived.
A listening ear, affirming communication and re-direction through inquisitive inquiry will cultivate an empowering therapeutic journey.
Utilizing breath work, the appropriate milieu of discovery and care: psychoanalysis, motivational interviewing, and/or narrative therapeutic methods, we will identify "what is in the way;" devise a plan of action; and incorporate easily applied methodologies to develop confidence while working through the healing process.
Once we establish an on-going therapeutic relationship, I look forward to holding space for the highs, lows, surprises, and joys of getting to the place of power.
As a client, you can expect an environment of peacefulness and privacy, where we get centered in what persists through self-exploration. As we discover what is running the show subconsciously, through inquisitive inquiry you will experience acceptance, support, and gaining the confidence to engage life powerfully.
