Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment that will allow clients to comfortably explore patterns in their behavior, thoughts and relationships that may be causing pain or creating blockages. Many of us have a story that we tell ourselves that explains how we have developed into the person that we are today, but often these narratives may be inaccurate and may be preventing growth or prolonging suffering. I believe that therapy provides a non-judgmental place to interrogate these narratives and gain insight into how these beliefs might impacting our lives. Using a psychodynamic lens I work with adults, adolescents and preteens that are seeking assistance with many experiences such as depression, anxiety, challenging relationships and changing identities. I embrace my clients’ diverse backgrounds and worldviews and encourage their full expression in our work together. I see therapy as a collaborative process working towards mutually agreed on goals. I aim to help clients enhance their understanding of themselves and gain new skills to cope with emotional suffering and difficult situations. I am particularly attuned to the complex challenges many new parents or caregivers experience and others adjusting to important life
