As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that therapy is a collaboration and partnership. I have found that people are the experts of themselves but sometimes need support to see themselves fully and feel empowered to make changes. I enjoy hearing people's stories and bearing witness to their journey towards growth and desired goals.
Everyone has a unique story and needs and should be seen in a holistic way. Once we have decided to work together, we will partner to set goals and decide on the best approach to meet your specific needs. Therapy is for you, and I welcome feedback in my approach to better meet you where you are and guide you where you want to be.
We start our time together with an introductory meeting where you have the space to share about yourself and your expectations and goals for therapy. Once we decide to work together, I will strive for you to leave our sessions with insight into yourself, new ways to cope with life's challenges, and a feeling of being seen. I hope to create a warm, non-judgmental environment in order to build a sense of safety and allow for vulnerability and open communication.
