I am a Certified Social Worker that specializes in ADHD, Anxiety, Chronic Stress, Codependency, Coping Skills, and Self Esteem Issues. I am aware that everyone is at a different level and requires a different approach that best matches their comfort level. I know that there are some people out there that are perfectly fine with verbal communication alone, but some require visual or auditory resources. I will happily provide or direct you toward videos, handouts, meditations, podcasts, etc. that you can utilize both in and out of the session and will also gladly go through them with you!
I would describe myself as a down-to-earth and warm hearted therapist who most values creating a space where people feel safe sharing their fears, dreams, goals, stories, and life experiences. I take an integrative and holistic approach to therapy, meaning focusing the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual parts of self as a whole and how each individual part may affect the other areas of our life. I recognize that everyone has different needs and personalities and it is important to me to let you decide what style you are most comfortable with and that works best for you.
I put my heart and soul into creating spaces for people where they feel heard, understood, supported, and empowered. I take a gentle, open-minded approach to therapy because I know from both personal and professional experience, that it is easier to express emotions when we feel safe enough to be able to put our walls down without being criticized or shamed for expressing our feelings. I am very strengths-based and am aware that sometimes when we feel low, it can be hard to remember all of the strengths we have. I will help guide you through uncovering and rediscovering these strengths and tell you all of the one’s I see in you. Know that I am always cheering you on throughout your journey and any step in a new direction that you take, no matter how small you might view it to be, will always be acknowledged and celebrated.
