Who Am I?
Over my 35 year career as a clinical social worker, I learned that life can be challenging, and we are all shaped by our experiences. Whether it is unhealed emotional wounds from childhood, trauma, anxiety, depression, or navigating life’s transitions, our ability to thrive is deeply connected to the support we receive, both internally and externally.
I view therapy not as a lifelong commitment (though I do believe in “tune-ups when needed), but as a tool to address the barriers that prevent us from living our life to our fullest potential. Through therapy, we have the opportunity to build upon the skills we already have and develop new skills and new understandings to overcome these barriers and ensure that these skills are carried beyond the therapy office into the world.
How I Help
In my practice I prioritize a collaborative therapeutic relationship that takes into account issues of culture, race, and personal expression from a strength-based perspective. After completing a thorough biopsychosocial assessment, my clients and I work together to establish clear treatment goals which guide our work and provide an objective way to measure success.
I feel deeply honored each time a client takes the risk to share their life with me and privileged to be part of the support system that helps them move beyond their barriers.
