High satisfaction rate with clients
Nice to meet you
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over eight years of experience providing therapy for adults and couples. I specialize in helping people recover from trauma and have been trained in a variety of techniques including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing through EMDRIA. I also specialize in working with young adults as they navigate challenging life transitions.
I believe in a collaborative and client-centered approach to therapy that focuses on your goals for your healing and well-being. I employ a strengths-based approach that encourages you to access the abilities and resources you have to promote healing. I believe in the importance of understanding and addressing the impact of inequity and intersectionality on mental health. I enjoy helping couples and families improve their communication and interactions with one another. I look forward to the opportunity to partner with you to achieve your goals for your mental health.
