As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I enjoy working with clients to collaboratively develop and achieve goals that will enable them to live effectively in their daily life. I work with people who are experiencing a wide range of struggles including difficulty regulating their emotions, adjusting to life transitions, anxiety disorders, low self-esteem, and the spectrum of eating disorder diagnoses. I emphasize building on your strengths and values, understanding and adjusting ineffective patterns in your life, and increasing your positive skills and pleasurable activities.

I have formal training in a variety of evidenced based treatment approaches to address anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD and more. (I am happy to discuss my training with you!) I use an integration of these approaches while focusing heavily on Mindful Self Compassion, Internal Family Systems/Parts Work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy- Mindfulness and Emotion Regulation. I may have the knowledge about the therapy techniques, but you are the expert of you. Together we will make a good team.

I believe it is important to incorporate all aspects of who you are as a person. I have done additional training on incorporating a focus of spirituality and/or religion if you desire. Incorporating faith or spirituality is a personal decision that does not appeal to all clients. Not a necessity in our approach, but rather an area I can help you explore if desired.
