Therapy focuses on the essential areas of the complexity of human behavior and development in a collaborative therapeutic setting. Therapy provides the opportunity to process challenges an individual may be struggling with by identifying coping skills and therapeutic resources. Transparency and vulnerability are necessary to approach sensitive personal experiences, and most importantly, I believe barriers can be broken with awareness, accountability, education, and resources. As a Licensed Master Social Worker, my educational background and work experience has enhanced my ability to treat various challenges and trauma.
I have extensive experience in acute psychiatric care which includes crisis response and safety planning. Throughout my career, I have worked collaboratively with other mental health professionals within the area of children and families, adults, and geriatrics. I describe myself as an honest, empathetic, and compassionate individual with integrity.
Addressing mental health issues can be sensitive and triggering; however, we can work collaboratively to break barriers and continue create ways of managing life challenges. The therapeutic relationship will be the foundation for the work that we do, and we can work together to navigate any storm (past, present, future) and help you through your challenges.
