Our Mission
My goal is to support you with identifying and owning the unique parts of yourself and to learn how to release defining yourself by your faults or differences.
We live in a world of, "shoulds."
I "should" do this, be that, dress like this, behave like that...
I will support you with recognizing these are imposed belief systems and you do not need to live by them. With my support, you will learn to make your environment work for you as opposed to shifting and changing aspects of yourself. You can harness your individual needs, wants, and boundaries to support your journey with finding self-love!
Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to employing evidence-based and holistic practices as tools to support my clients.
I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Social Work from the University of Vermont in 2013 and earned my Master of Social Work from Southern Connecticut State University in 2018. I spent time in-between my educational pursuits teaching English as a second language in Thailand, working as an Applied Behavioral Therapist within special education, and traveling the world. Most recently, I received my 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training Certificate!
Over the last 10 years I have professionally supported adolescents in Intensive Outpatient Programs, worked with young teens and families in the juvenile justice system, and have provided patient support during the COVID-19 pandemic as a medical social worker. Throughout my career, I have been involved in special education and adult services for individuals with disabilities to support them foster independence and navigate life transitions.
I tailor my approach in private practice to create a safe and comfortable space for the healing process. I believe in the power of understanding the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and my primary goal is to take this connection and incorporate a mind-body practice. This connection enhances the healing process and supports my clients with identifying and developing their self-worth.
As we embark on this therapeutic journey together, my goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore, grow, and build resilience. I look forward to collaborating with you on your path to a more fulfilling and balanced life.
Thank you for considering me as your partner in this process.
