I am a Doctor of social work (DSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 7 years of clinical experience working with adolescents and adults. I am trained in motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma informed practice.
I would describe my therapeutic style as warm, empowering, eclectic, and person-centered in an effort to best meet the needs of my clients. I believe the therapeutic relationship is paramount to a positive client experience and eventual positive outcomes. I am trained in cognitive behavioral approaches and third-wave approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness based approaches as well as psychodynamic therapy. Additionally, I incorporate a trauma informed approach within each client interaction in an effort to create an environment which is safe and respects client's lived histories and ongoing journeys.
I aim to provide clients with increased insight and tangible skills that they can practice and implement in their daily lives. For me, a strong, mutual therapist-client collaborative relationship is essential to best understanding clients' deepest desires and so that I can help people work towards their unique, personalized goals. Clients can expect from me a warm, present, and nonjudgemental demeanor with a display of professionalism and focus which will help them move in their desired direction.
