Expressing oneself can be one of the most liberating experiences a person can have. For some, expressing oneself is a simple act. For others, It can be something that needs support, practice and nurture. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 15+years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I see all individuals as the expert of themselves, and am here to provide tools, insight and empathy to assist in reaching one's goals. I take a holistic approach to therapy, including mindfulness, meditation, and general wellness. I also come with certifications in evidenced-based practice, CBT, DBT
My practice is a cozy atmosphere, where together we build a therapeutic and trusting relationship, conducive to gaining insight and making change.
I look forward to connecting with you.
