LCSW - Psychotherapist
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has several years of experience working with system-involved youth and families. In my work, I regularly address issues related to trauma, attachment, relationship instability, grief, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, and depression. I also specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders and have extensive experience providing behavioral treatment for general anxiety, OCD, and phobias. I entered the field of mental health because I feel passionate about increasing access to affordable and quality mental health services.
The world we live in offers us endless ways to disconnect and distance ourselves from our own humanity. The energy that we invest into our own healing, through therapy, brings us closer to experiencing life as our most true selves. I believe that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship a client forms with a therapist.
Gaining insight into our choices and uncovering patterns in our behavior can move us towards paths of acceptance, healing, and change. I strive to provide a warm and non-judgmental environment where one can feel secure in being vulnerable and feel free from shame.
