Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I strongly believe my clients are the experts in their own lives and can experience healing and personal growth through regaining self-efficacy in their own abilities. My goals are to provide an empathetic, genuine, and constructive space for growth and healing. I utilize evidence-based modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing to assist clients in addressing negative thought patterns, gain acceptance towards themselves, and increase their tool box of helpful coping skills. I have extensive experience working with clients who struggle with eating disorders, depressive and anxiety disorders, chronic pain, grief and dementia. I worked in a variety of settings including hospice, grief counseling, as well as an eating disorder treatment centers including both intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs. I strived to empower clients and their loved ones to take back ownership of their lives by assisting them to find and utilize the strengths they’ve always had within themselves.
