I am a Masters-prepared clinical social worker and have had the privilege of being a therapist for over 15 years. I have trained and worked in a range of clinical settings, including both outpatient treatment and Partial Hospitalization programs. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in my work with clients.
Making the decision to begin therapy can feel intimidating. Recognizing this, I am committed to maintaining a trusting, supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic space. During our first appointment, we will have the opportunity to talk about your history, as well as more recent life stressors and issues that led to your decision to begin therapy. We will work collaboratively to identify your goals and develop a plan to actively and effectively work toward these goals. As our sessions progress, we will examine patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors in your life. Together, we will work reinforcing those patterns that support your goals and modifying the patterns that are getting in your way.
