Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
My focuses of practice are on the LGBTQ+ community, people with adjustment issues, trauma, and mood disorders, and anyone seeking to improve their coping skills and find solutions to make life more about living and less about just surviving! I am a client-centered therapist. Client-centered to me means, I act as your guide, helping you talk about your issues using active listening and reflection, thinking of you as the expert on you, we work together to find solutions that work for you, and things that you can do to improve your coping and minimize stress. Having overcome many issues personally with the help of a therapist, I wanted to be that catalyst for change for others if they wanted it, and to paraphrase the Peace Corp, it's been the toughest job I've ever loved. My clients have probably taught me more than I have taught them and I consider it a privilege to do what I do. Thank you for considering me.
