About My Clients

Most of my clients are people who have lost sight of how awesome they actually are whether that be due to some sort of trauma, a bad or unfulfilling relationship, a chronic illness, or a mental health disorder. They are people looking to make sense of their realities and to learn how to manage them. My clients are mostly adolescents and adults, but I will see children who are capable of handling the telehealth format.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years in the social work field. I create safe spaces for clients to share, discover, and learn without judgment. I take an empowerment approach with my clients, so they may develop their efficacy and esteem. I believe in collaborating with my clients to create a strong foundation for them to learn and grow upon, so they can implement skills independently. This includes providing resources to aid clients in dismantling environmental and societal barriers that prevent social and emotional growth and providing education and skills to teach clients how to care for themselves and to manage both their inner and outer realities. I am passionate about assisting people in making sense of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, especially those related to trauma. As a result, I utilize CBT, narrative, and somatic techniques to assist clients in their processing their trauma experiences.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a social worker, it is my ethical duty to support policies and ideals that promote equity and equality for all, and I take that seriously. I believe our mental health is tied to our social and physical environments, and we need supports and advocacy to make those environments inclusive and healthy.
