my Story
Passion: I am deeply invested in supporting individuals and families through meaningful life changes. My passion for this work is grounded in witnessing transformations and providing a non-judgmental space where clients feel understood, challenged and empowered!
Personality: Clients often describe me as approachable, down-to-earth, practical and informative. I infuse humor into my sessions, helping to build trust and ease the natural discomfort that can come with therapy or starting something new.
Specialization: My primary focus is on Alcohol Use (addiction, unsatisfactory behaviors/patterns, etc.), Anxiety & Trauma.
Experience: With a background in social work that spans over ten years, I bring both clinical knowledge and real-word experience to my practice.
Cultural Awareness/Commitment to Learning: I am committed to understanding my clients' backgrounds, cultures and life experiences. I plan to continuously educate myself indefinitely on new & current research and cultural factors that are crucial to infuse into my care as a therapist. I stay committed to learning about the latest westernized and holistic therapeutic modalities and evidenced-based practices, enabling me to provide relevant and impactful support.
Philosophy/Approach: Beyond my professional trainings and expertises, my philosophy is grounded in providing a client-centered, goal-oriented, non-judgmental space where individuals feel empowered to take control of their lives. I believe that each client's journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to honor their personal goals and pace.
