Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
When I was serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ukraine, the comfort of someone speaking my language was immeasurable. Speaking your language is important to me. Whether it’s through humor, warmth, empathy, or directness, I strive to make therapy relieving rather than another foreign experience. When therapists discuss what type of therapy they do, is it just another set of abbreviations with absolutely no meaning? Let me be your translator. I deeply value education, so if you are unfamiliar with any of the therapies I list below, I will explain extensively as to how they work within session. If you like learning, I'm your person! I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), both evidence based treatments for survivors of trauma. I am also informed on evidence based treatments for anxiety, depression, and low self esteem such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Ah yes, the dreaded question…"what are you hoping to gain from therapy?” There are times I despise this question because the majority of my clients know something is wrong, but can’t quite point to what or how to fix it. Let’s begin by finding peace within clarity!
