As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe in prioritizing holistic care for the mind, body and spirit. Seeking out help can feel daunting, so congratulations on taking the first step!
My experience has primarily involved working with youth around complex trauma and grief, and women struggling with anxiety and depression.
I offer a holistic approach that recognizes trauma and unhealthy lifestyle as the root of misalignment and illness. I guide you through somatically processing stuck trauma and adaptively integrating it into the body. I also provide practical coaching for lifestyle shifts.
I am social justice-oriented and person-in-environment centered.
I use a strengths-based perspective because I believe that you already have everything you need to heal. We are identifying and fortifying those strengths.
I always start with listening to you to learn your goals; how you want to feel afterward and what you want to attain from therapy. I am often direct and I challenge clients because I want you to experience results. I'm not a therapist who discusses a topic ad-nauseam for the sake of just "getting it out." We work on addressing patterns, processing trauma, and setting goals for behavior shifts. If this sounds like what you're looking for, I'd love to meet you.
In wellness,
Olivia
