I am a pre-licensed Social Worker who takes a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to my work with clients. I have a special interest in working with perinatal concerns such as postpartum anxiety, depression and OCD as well as birth trauma. I have experience in a residential treatment setting, where I provided therapeutic mental health services to youth within the child welfare system. teens and young adults. I pull therapeutic techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
I embrace a strength-based approach firmly rooted in the belief that each client is the ultimate expert in their own life and possesses the innate power to effect lasting change. I highly value cultural humility and understanding in my practice, and I am to create a safe environment that honors the identities of all clients.
I recognize that opening up to a new person about your life and struggles can be intimidating, and I honor the vulnerability of therapeutic work. I approach therapy with empathy and understanding, while fostering a positive therapeutic relationship built on trust.
