About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and am providing individual counseling at a small health center. I've been here for 9 yrs. Prior to that I worked in an OP clinic working with very ill population. I was a crisis worker for 10 yrs prior to that. I've worked in the city and now in rural health care. I feel so grateful to be doing this work and listening to peoples personal stories. I also start where the client is at and I practice with transparency regarding my assessment and recommendations. I always use CBT to one degree or another. I aid people in changing problem saturated stories and finding a more positive lens. I look for change language and try to build on that. I am a level II EMDR trained therapist so I do a fair share of trauma work. I find that we are all more alike than we are different and I can always connect with people at some level. I never claim to have the answers, but I always give 100% to support and encourage change.
