“I can’t do this anymore.” “I can’t call (insert friend’s name) because they have enough on their plate.” “I feel so alone.” “This black cloud just keeps getting bigger.” “Why am I so upset? Things are going so well in my life!” Throughout our life, we face many challenges during our day to day lives which can be made more difficult by past experiences. Sometimes, we just need someone to help sort it all out. Whether you are struggling with unresolved trauma, grief or loss, a recent breakup or divorce, a constant shadow of or the grip of depression, therapy can help. The first step is finding the right therapist for you
My experience as a social worker has varied from working in crisis to legal system to schools. I have worked with clients aged 7-65 but my passion lies working with children and adolescents. My trauma informed approach and experience working with behavioral complexities has allowed me to support clients across a spectrum of diagnosis for over 15 years.
I have a unique approach that works best for those who need directness, feedback and are ready to reflect on themselves. If any of this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation.
