I have been in the social work field for the past decade in a myriad of settings. I truly believe this wide range of experience in areas such as preventive, clinical, schools, shelters, etc. has given me a holistic understanding of the various needs of my clients. I bring this knowledge, my own background and experiences, and my clinical experience into therapy in order to provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment that promotes healing - no matter what a person's need or trauma is.

Treatment Approach
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychoanalytic Therapy Based on Freud’s theories, it explores unconscious conflicts and past experiences. It seeks to bring hidden issues into awareness.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.

This process can be hard and challenging. I am here to walk with you and, although I will challenge you, I will make sure we move at the pace that is right for you. Much of the work will include examining and healing from trauma using psychodynamic approaches; however, sessions are truly guided by you.
I recognize that the journey to wholeness is hard, but it is possible - with small steps at a pace best for each person. Reaching out and taking a step to be vulnerable with someone is definitely scary - I commend you for even taking the step to look for support and I wish positivity and healing on wherever your path takes you.
