Hello, I am a compassionate and dedicated clinical therapist with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field and running my own group private practice. I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work, am a Registered Play Therapist, and have also been trained in EMDR.
My commitment to helping others comes from my own life experiences. I've faced a lot of challenges, including deep grief, anxiety, and fears of abandonment, which have made me a more empathetic and insightful therapist.
After a devastating loss, I went through a tough period of depression, feeling overwhelmed by grief and sadness. I've always been a caretaker, trying to meet the needs and expectations of those around me. This desire to make everyone happy often led to overwhelming anxiety as I juggled the demands of my career and personal life. The pressure to be perfect and the fear of disappointing others caused significant stress and burnout.
My fear of abandonment stems from past relationships marked by infidelity and unmet expectations. These painful experiences left me feeling vulnerable and afraid of being alone. My approach to therapy is deeply influenced by my personal journey. I offer a blend of empathy, understanding, and practical strategies to help my clients navigate their own challenges. My experiences allow me to connect with my clients on a deeply empathetic level, providing a safe space to express their feelings without judgment.
I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and other therapies to promote overall well-being. I'm passionate about empowering my clients, helping them develop the skills and resilience needed to overcome their struggles and lead fulfilling lives. I work collaboratively with my clients, guiding them on their journey to self-discovery and healing.
I'm committed to making a positive impact in the lives of my clients. My personal experiences with depression, anxiety, and abandonment have given me a deep sense of purpose and a desire to help others find their path to healing. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives and am dedicated to providing the support and guidance my clients need to grow.
