Hello and Welcome! I am a Registered Social Worker with over 20 years of
experience working with individuals to support them with a wide array of presenting
issues and concerns. This is a humbling and rewarding role and my unwavering
goal is to foster deep and meaningful connections with people to help create the
space, possibility, and motivation for impactful change. I believe that truly being
seen and heard is one of the most validating and healing experiences we can have
as human beings. This is what I strive to offer in each and every session. Leading
with empathy and compassion, I use a combination of approaches including tools
and strategies informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior
Therapy, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness principles. While our
past certainly informs our daily experiences, it does not define us and I work to
focus on the present, the future, the things we can control, and the development of
actionable goals that can cultivate improved wellbeing. I see your strengths and
your potential and will work with you to amplify them. I am human too and bring a
wealth of lived experience including supporting loved ones with mental health and
substance use challenges, divorce, aging, career and life transitions, and the
gauntlet of parenting!
I practice the following modalities from an informed lens:
