I am a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience working directly with adult clients in a variety of treatment settings. I am a generalist therapist and my primary specialties are working with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, co-dependency tendencies, grief, and life stressors/transitions.
I tend to be a "jump right in"/very direct type of therapist and I mostly use Solution Focused and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) methods in my practice. As a social worker, I also believe environment and identity are important factors in who we are, what we struggle with, and the opportunities and roadblocks we might face.
I believe in personal empowerment and client-centered growth. I work with my clients to help them improve emotional flexibility and tolerance while developing practical behavioral changes necessary to reach their goals. I am an active therapist and work to create a collaborative environment with my clients.
