Hi, I'm Aviva, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Life can become difficult when stress, burnout, relationship problems, body image concerns, or past experiences begin to affect your daily life. Sometimes people seek therapy because they are exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. I believe in working together to create solutions that will give a different perspective or a way to break patterns that no longer work for them. I have experience with patterns that no longer suit you and have learned methods to work through them.
I have a passion for coming alongside others and believe it's part of my DNA as a human being. I'm a mom, a Veteran, been married/divorced and I love my job! I specialize in trauma.. the big "T's" and the little ones. I have experience working with sexual assault, complex PTSD, moral injury, addictions, and grief.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 19 years of experience helping adults, teens, couples, and families facing a variety of issues including relationship problems, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma, grief, work stressors. My goal is to provide a supportive and safe space for you to explore your challenges and seek meaningful change. Together, we can navigate life's complexities, improve your well-being, and help you build stronger relationships.
