I've been a social worker since 2012 after receiving my MSW at Indiana University School of Social Work. I specialize in working with trauma, substance use, depression, and anxiety with a whole-person mindset. I use a warm and supportive approach in working with my clients.
When I work with clients, I let the clients take the lead. I don't come to session with an agenda other than their treatment goals. I use light humor in sessions to make therapy more of a relationship of people working together.
During the first session, I focus on getting to know you — what's bringing you in, what you're hoping to change, and what feels most important to work on. I follow your lead, keep things low-pressure, and yes, there's room for humor. My main goal is that you leave feeling heard and comfortable enough to come back.
