ABOUT

ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

I am a  Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and have worked in teaching and counseling with diverse populations in school, University, private, non-profit,  and international settings. I have experience working with  depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, prenatal/perinatal issues and life transitions, and most extensively with people who have experienced trauma in their lives including childhood trauma, sexual assault, abusive relationships, and marginalized identities.

 

I use a combination of clinical training and real world  experience to help clients better connect with themselves and with others. My goal is to collaborate with  clients in an empathetic and non-judgmental space, emphasizing client strengths and the therapeutic relationship. Our experiences, beliefs and identities can create painful symptoms and patterns, but I believe that positive change can happen when we learn to alter our adaptive responses to difficult life experiences -- realizing greater self-acceptance and healthier and more peaceful lives.
