Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel safe, welcoming, and supportive. My style is soft, caring, and down-to-earth, but I am also honest and direct when needed. I will gently challenge you to consider new perspectives while making sure you feel heard and respected. Together, we will work at a pace that is meaningful and progressive for you.
My approach to therapy is warm, caring, and collaborative. I provide a supportive space where you can openly share and process what you are experiencing, while also being honest and direct when it may help you grow. I will gently challenge you to look at situations from a different perspective, identify unhelpful patterns, and build practical tools with increase confidence for everyday life. We will work together towards goals on your healing and growth journey.
During our first session, I focus on creating a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard. I ask open-ended questions to learn about your experiences and what brings you to therapy. Together, we work to identify what you want to establish as your goals for change that best reflect your values and needs. From there, we discuss what the next steps in treatment and what sessions may look like moving forward, so you have a sense of structure and what to expect. You will never be pressure to share more than you are ready for and we can adjust the pace and plan together to ensure emotional safety and support your growth.
