I’d first like to recognize the strength it has taken to reach this stage in your growth and healing. Seeking assistance can often be an overwhelming task, but you’re on the right path! I have had the privilege of accompanying people on their path towards “something better” for roughly ten years, of which the last four have been spent as an independently practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience assisting individuals and families as they navigate through adjustment and mood-related concerns, communication deficits, and lifestyle issues. Throughout my professional career I have gained experience working with people coping with chronic and acute medical conditions, end-of-life and grief processes, and relationship/role changes. I also have experience working with clients within the LGBTQ+ community as well as alternative lifestyles. My style tends to be direct and relaxed; I appreciate honesty and openness in people, and I offer this to all that I work with. I provide a safe space for candid expression, and I encourage my clients to state their needs early and often. I tend towards a person-centered style; I will meet you right where you are at, and if you don’t know exactly where “at” is yet then we can work together to figure that out. I also happen to think that I’m pretty funny, so if nothing else I’ve got that going for me!
