My focus
Clients include individuals suffering from depression and anxiety. I have a specialty working with women experiencing postpartum depression. I also support clients going through life transitions, parenting challenges, work/life balance, illness, grief, and loss.
My communication style
My environment is open and welcoming, where clients will feel heard and cared for.
My journey to therapy
I have been a social worker in healthcare for 20 years. Most recently, I have been providing individual supervision for students and new staff. Through this work, as well as being sought out by colleagues for support over the past three years, I have come to deeply appreciate the importance of therapy and self-care. I want to do more individual therapy to help people cope with all the changes the world has seen.
My goals for you
Upon initial assessment, I will get to know you and understand your reasons for starting therapy. With this information, we will set goals tailored to your needs.
My first session with you
The first session will be a "get to know you" meeting. We will explore your reasons for coming to therapy, living situation, support system, and what is going well or may not be working in your life currently. All sessions will also include safety and mental health screening assessments.
