As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I strive to provide a comfortable and accepting environment for adolescents and adults to come as they are and explore new patterns in thinking, feeling, and behaving. I have extensive experience working with individuals with personality disorders and others who experience depression and anxiety, behavioral concerns, self harm, challenges in interpersonal relationships, and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. My experience has taken place in a variety of mental health settings with diverse populations. Mental health counseling does not look the same for every client, so I will use skills pulled from various evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Attachment Based, Mindfulness-Based, and always from a strengths based perspective.
