As a licensed clinical social worker grounded in psychodynamic theory, I adopt a holistic approach emphasizing active listening, empathy, and mindfulness. I aim to create a safe space where clients feel accepted, allowing them to navigate difficult emotions, life transitions, and complex relationships.
Using an attachment-focused framework, I help clients recognize how early experiences influence their relationships. Together, we identify patterns in their emotions and behaviors to foster new ways of engagement.
I support the “talking cure” to encourage the release of pent-up emotions while acknowledging the body’s role in sensing and releasing these blocks. Mindfulness practices, breathwork, and Emotional Freedom techniques (tapping ) are a few tools I use to foster the mind-body connection. Throughout the process, I engage in compassionate listening, provide psychoeducation, and utilize humor to create a unique and supportive therapeutic journey.
The therapeutic alliance is integral to facilitating change and healing. By recognizing each individual’s potential for growth, I strive to cultivate a collaborative relationship that inspires and empowers clients on their unique paths.
