A bit about me
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with experience treating mental health, substance abuse and trauma.
​
Imagine what the world would be like if individuals could altruistically tap into their talents and abilities! Some of these strengths may be affected by traumatic events, environmental stressors, internal/external conflicts (identity and personal beliefs), mental health and medical challenges.
My style consists of providing a compassionate, person-centered, trauma-informed lens that allows my clients the ability to identify their goals and restore a sense of control in their lives.
​
I like to help individuals get to a place where they feel safe to share, explore and process complex emotions and experiences. We will work collaboratively together to discover negative core beliefs that may be the center driving force towards how they have been navigating their lives, and identifying modalities that would best work for each person.
