I come from a familial background in psychology as multiple family members are psychologists. However, I wanted to balance psychology (which is my undergraduate degree) with the social and emotional components of mental health. This led me to a graduate program in social work. I went to a program that was clinical in focus and a great deal of my schooling was in counseling/therapy, more specifically. I have been an LCSW in private practice for about 12 years.
I view every client as more than a "client"; they are people, like me, who want to feel valuable and lovable and live fulfilling lives. I feel we are all similar and there is connection and compassion in that. I have experience working with many issues, including addictions, self-esteem, body image, relationships, boundary setting, anxiety, and depression. I am a collaborative style therapist and work with you to improve the areas of your life you want help with.
My goal is for you to feel more in control of your life, more in tune, to live more authentically and to have a healthy self view and positive self esteem. I want you to feel like you are living the best version of you that you can.
