Contrary to popular opinion, I do not believe in safe spaces as a viable, long term solution to anyones’ challenges, unless you’re willing to sacrifice your autonomy and allow fear to dictate how you live. However, I firmly believe that therapy should be a safe place to explore the issues that are creating fear and discomfort. Life is chaotic and unpredictable, and while there is a time and place for utilizing safe spaces, they should only be used in the short term. I’m very invested in empowering my clients to foster bravery, resilience, and perseverance so they are well equipped to navigate the challenges life throws their way.
As an LCSW, I have treated individuals and families with various challenges for over a decade. I’ve worked in numerous settings including inpatient mental health, outpatient substance use, and, for the past 6 years, I’ve worked in child welfare supporting youth and families in the foster care system. To do this, I often use MI, CBT, SFT, and Mindfulness.
Allowing yourself to feel vulnerable and uncomfortable is necessary in creating an opportunity for growth, and I respect that you’ve taken this first step. Our life’s experiences shape us, and everyones’ story is unique. I'd be honored to be a part of your story and partner with you, as you navigate through your challenges, and build a healthier life.
