I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been working with individuals and families for the past 5 years. I have experience working with individuals who are dealing with chronic illness, relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, major depression, and anxiety. I use various treatment approaches based on the needs of my clients, but my main approach to therapy is strength-based.I focus on the positives in a person’s life and use their past and present successes to empower them to overcome their challenges. I believe that having direction and goals in life are important for individual growth. I will help my clients set reasonable and attainable goals that will benefit their everyday lives. I believe that my clients have the right to tell their story in a safe non-judgmental environment. I provide a safe and respectful environment so that my clients have the space and time to express themselves. It is with great honor that I am able to help individuals navigate through their lives during difficult times.
