Welcome to the neighborhood! This neighborhood provides a safe and comforting environment to be yourself. Sometimes it can be difficult to simply be; be present, be motivated or even be a part of this ever changing world. Here we provide the opportunity to initiate and tackle realistic goals with support along the way. The neighborhood serves regular, everyday people striving to be their best self, from working adults to caregivers of elderly parents. Entrepreneurs growing their business and patients transitioning to unemployment due to unforeseen circumstances. The neighborhood serves as an all inclusive space for healing.
I believe a client centered approach allows a genuine experience for both client and clinician. My goal is to help my clients reach a point of internal growth through self-discovery and encouragement. As a Clinical Social Worker, I provide individual therapy to adults, specializing in older adults and caregiver stress. As well as transitions later in life.
I look forward to welcoming you into the neighborhood. See you there :)
