About My Clients
Whether you are struggling with sadness, worry, work-related stress, substance use issues, relationship difficulties, or emotions resulting from traumatic experience(s), I offer a supportive ear and a nonjudgmental environment in which we can work together to identify and implement strategies to move you toward your goals. I strive to assist clients in fully exploring their emotions in an environment characterized by compassion, acceptance, and safety.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I received a B.S. in Liberal Arts and an M.S. in Criminal Justice from Excelsior University and an M.A. in Social Work from the University of Chicago. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers. For the past several years, my practice has focused at the intersection of trauma, addiction, and mental health. I rely on a client-centered approach to care, recognizing that each individual has unique needs, challenges and strengths. I take a holistic view of each person and consider the physical, emotional, behavioral, and spiritual components of well-being. I feel strongly that connection with values - those things in life that are the most important to us - facilitates growth and promotes satisfaction. I am particularly interested in partnering with my clients as they seek to better understand and apply their values.
