About My Clients
I believe I am using my strengths when I am working with adults who want to join in explorative therapy who are experiencing stress, wanting to improve relationships with others, who have or are experiencing trauma, people who identify on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, people in life transitions, wanting to increase self-awareness and/or self-esteem, and those experiencing or recovering from religious trauma. My experience has been in community mental health.
My Background and Approach
I have been a social worker since 2012, starting with my BSW and then getting my MSW. Throughout my experience, I have worked in mental health first with children and families and then with adults experiencing mood disorders and psychosis. I am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have been a therapist since 2019. I believe exploration is a major part of my work as a therapist as well. I ask a lot of questions and have found processing and talking to be a way to explore our thoughts and feelings. My approach is strength-based, individualized to your needs, and collaborative. We will explore together, develop skills and ideas, and grow together. My overall hope is that you will flourish. My favorite therapeutic modalities are DBT, CBT, MI, ACT, and trauma-focused approaches.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a person who identifies as a queer, cis-gendered woman. I believe that our community is stronger when we empower each other. I am a person who is white. I seek to be anti-racist in everything that I do and acknowledge the white privilege that I possess. When working with a person who identifies differently than myself, I seek to ask questions and not make assumptions. I aim create a space for open dialogue. I commit to creating brave and equitable spaces for all people. I am someone who loves stories and how stories impact our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. The stories we believe impact our lives and how we function in the world. We often gather these narratives from our families, friends, larger society, community groups, institutions, and our own life experiences. I have done a lot of personal exploring, developing, and growing about these dialectical oppositions and stories that have impacted my life.
