Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
Therapy is hard work and neither one of us can do it alone. I provide a safe and compassionate environment for each client; however, that does not mean the therapy is just talking. I encourage clients to ask questions, make mistakes, and practice health communication, especially in therapy, so they can build up the confidence and the skills to [ideally] make fewer mistakes and/or becoming more resilient outside of therapy.
It's not easy but hopefully we can work together so that you end up being motivated by your progress.
What does a first session with you look like?
Our first session will be a time for us to to get to know each other. Therapy is not always "love at first sight", after all we start off as strangers. It may be a awkward and a lot of questions at first but I am confident that you will have a good idea of if you want to proceed by the end of the first session. As long as you come to therapy [consistently] wanting to make change we can work on the rest together.

Work HistoryI am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient and in-home settings. I've interned as a social worker at an assisting living home as well as at the public school system. I have made efforts to experience and explore diverse environments, different life stages, and mental health concerns, during my career. While working within an agency, I was able to learn unique needs within a non-profit setting. Even as I work in a more clinical role now, I've worked with individuals to help them learn skills, feel better, and heal through a number of research-based interventions.
