I believe that our brains are hardwired with the desire to heal, and that our bodies have a desire to make that healing a reality, no matter how long that process takes. My approach to therapy is rooted in the beliefs of my profession as a Social Worker. I value your autonomy above all else. I see therapy as a way to work together to help you overcome your past and make empowered decisions regarding your present and future. Through understanding, compassion, and insight I will work with you to build a life worth living, and a life that is based not on what happened to you, but on what you value in the here and now. I feel very passionately about the work that I am able to do to help people heal and move forward. You are more than who you were on your worst day, and I see therapy as a collaborative effort to change the way you think and feel about yourself. Progress in therapy is never linear, and every person’s journey in therapy is unique. I pride myself on meeting clients where they are. I see you as more than just your trauma, and I want to go on this journey of self-discovery and healing with you. I use several modalities ranging from cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT), Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR.
