Overview

My ideal client is someone who is dedicated to coming to session and be open to exploring new ideas and perspectives. Clients are able to reflect and be open to self-discovery and learning new methods to improve how they are feeling. Clients who are experiencing severe trauma, stress, or just need to have someone to talk is ideal.

As a social worker, I look at the whole person to identify causes of stress and symptoms and help clients unpack how they are feeling. I have experience using evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interview. I take an eclectic approach as well.

The hardest part of meeting with the therapist is opening up and feeling comfortable. My goal is to foster a relationship that feels safe, warm, and welcoming. The client drives the session, and my role is to identify use techniques that work with the client and their situation.
