My Approach to Helping

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Within my practice, I employ strong practical and theoretical foundations in a variety of therapeutic modalities.I am empathic and nonjudgmental and believe in open, honest and interactive exchanges. Dedication to building self-esteem,self-compassion, establishing cooperative and effective relationships, providing parenting information and client support are core components to my clinical model.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

I get that asking for help is not an easy place to get to and so admire my clients who have made that choice. I believe everyone needs a listener, advocate, someone to bounce things off of, validator, support person (the list goes on and on) at some or many points in their lives. This human experience is not an easy one and I believe the more help we can give one another to maneuver through the better off we will all be.
