Seeking balance? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with women, men, couples, and adolescents. You may struggle with situations and issues in your life including but not limited to coping with emotions, thinking poorly of yourself, a traumatic event or experiencing frustration in relationships. Therapy, to me, is a collaborative process in which one is able to reflect on thought processes, emotional states, roles in a system, and ineffective behaviors while in a safe and secure environment. I try to create a collaborative alliance with my clients that allows them to understand themselves better and find balance. I use a mindfulness-based approach: the practice of being present in the current moment non-judgmentally of self. I may ask you to challenge yourself, reflect on perspective, or develop alternatives, but I will not push, judge, or tell you what to do. The power to heal is within you.
I work with a wide range of clients, however I thoroughly enjoy working with women struggling to find balance, managing stress, and striving to identify themselves or their purpose. I believe that we go through milestones or moments in our lives that we must navigate. Sometimes we do so successfully using the tools that have worked for us in the past. Sometimes we feel stuck and need to learn new ways of coping and problem solving to overcome obstacles. I appreciate being present with clients who allow me to join in the journey of discovery. I am honored by it.
