My therapeutic approach is affirming, person-centered, strength-based, relational, and non-judgmental.
As a therapist, I am passionate about journeying with people who desire to see healing and transformation in their lives. Uncertain times can often produce feelings of insecurity and emotional distress. You may find yourself experiencing anxiety, depression, relational conflict, grief, loss and isolation in these times of crisis. Buried beneath the emotional distress you may be experiencing is the authentic you. You are not alone. Help is available. Throughout our journey together, we will work to identify the negative patterns and thought processes that contribute to you feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

I have experience using Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to name a few.
I have a unique understanding of racial traumas, college life struggles, and coping with low self-esteem. It is my mission to create a space for everyone to feel comfortable. I understand it can be difficult to feel certain about talking to someone, but I am committed to providing a supportive environment. Gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality should not be a barrier to getting compassionate care. (Sometimes my emails get sent to the junk folder, so if you haven't heard from me you should check there)

I work with children, adolescents, adults and families and utilize a strength-based, client-centered approach.
I am an Independently Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of providing direct, clinical services to individuals and families struggling with emotional, behavioral and psychiatric issues. It has been my experience that fear or avoidance of therapy occurs when people are reluctant to talk about past experiences, which can increase emotional pain. This can leave someone feeling helpless, hopeless and scared of the unknown. Healing and recovery is a process and we will work together to achieve positive change and growth in the areas of life you want to address.

I prioritize a strength-based approach to help clients tap into their confidence.
We all have innate wisdom about what is best for us but may struggle to believe this about ourselves. I work with clients with past and ongoing trauma that has impacted their sense of self, created feelings of overwhelm, and even feelings of detachment. I strive to create a safe environment in which clients can be curious about the relationship between their inner and outer worlds. Through curiosity, I hope to show people that there are no “bad parts" of them, just parts that may no longer serve them. I help clients to connect mind and body to address the full picture of thoughts, feelings and emotions.

My passion is helping clients discover skills to manage anxiety, challenge thought traps, question negative thinking patterns, explore self-identity, and reduce depressive states through processing emotions, mindfulness, understanding the nervous system, and implementing healthy coping skills. If feeling frustrated in the past/present/future worries, we can explore EMDR together to allow the brain to heal naturally. We can create goals, big or small, to uncover strengths and reduce feelings of being stuck. I also like to bring breathwork, grounding techniques, and tapping into sessions to build a sense of calm and create peace.

I believe that a strength-based, non-judgmental approach can help one succeed on this journey to self-discovery and healing.
Sometimes life becomes overwhelming and we need a safe space to gather our thoughts, explore our emotions or gain clarity to reach our personal goals. Tending to our emotional health can often be difficult while dealing with everyday responsibilities and I understand the impact that mental health can have on dealing with the complexities of life. I commend you for exploring your options and rest assured that you have the capacity to change your life and gain control of your emotions. Therapy can be the key to helping you discover the tools you need to live the life you want.

I will offer a safe place to learn about yourself from a strength-based perspective.
As the world has grown smaller with access to so much instant information, children and families are feeling overwhelmed. As families try to cope from this place of overwhelm, their relationships and connections can suffer. Childhood trauma can also play a part in the way we shape our families. Recognizing and understanding generational trauma is the first step in creating your family differently. Sometimes adults need help in order to help their children.

How does strength-based therapy work?
During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.
Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?
Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.
How long does strength-based therapy last?
There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.
How effective is strength-based therapy?
Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
