I am happy you are here. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker that takes pride in providing unique and adaptive care. Through my experience with various ages and populations, I am confident in my skills that I have built in providing compassion, insight, and some challenge to those I work with. At this time, I specialize in anxiety disorders, transitional life periods, as well as Obsessive-Compulsive disorders with older teens, college students, and adults.
When meeting with clients, I work to create a warm, empathetic space where one will feel safe, respected, and heard. I achieve this through providing a humorous, personable, and strengths-based approach. As we continue our work together, it is crucial to me that I continue to facilitate a warm and trusted space, while also working to provide challenge, skills, and new perspectives to help you achieve treatment goals.
Some goals I often work towards with clients include building on adaptive coping and soothing strategies to relieve symptoms, as well as working to gain new views and perspectives in care. Clients may leave session with new ideas of how to approach a concern or problem, validation of their experiences, as well as insights into past and current behaviors and experiences. When working with clients, it is important that I create a space that will allow for both positive and constructive feedback of the sessions and interventions being used. Your voice and opinion matter.
