LIFE COACHING SPECIALTIES

 THERAPY SPECIALTIES

I am a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) in private practice. I am always enthusiastic to work with individuals who are facing challenges in life, eager to learn lessons, and move on to the next level of their life. I feel fulfilled when I see clients walk away lighter, freer, happier, and excited to live their own personal journey after healing from wounds, disorders, and struggles on their path. I am here to help you bloom into your best self by providing you with a safe place to reconnect with your inner self. I can help you nurture your inner world, heal your past, and learn how to develop a loving relationship with yourself and the important people in your life. By using a variety of treatment modalities, we will go into your past to understand your present and change your future. In a safe and supportive environment, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my patient' individual needs.
