I am committed to using the therapeutic process with people to develop healthy coping skills in the wake of these experiences. It is important for me to provide safe and ethical care for clients of a variety of backgrounds with an emphasis on meeting the unique needs of Black, Indigenous, and people of color as well as people in various queer and transgender communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f713745ef76050b1c7e56ee/1604373342978-2R2PTMIQ10EXOCCYFAI9/20180629_105349.jpg About - A multifaceted approach My clinical tools are primarily motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness-based CBT, suicide assessment, and a strengths-based approach. I utilize these skills to create an environment in which people are better able to identify problems and strengths so they can change behaviors that are no longer useful for them. I help people navigate a multitude of complexities such as racism, family dynamics, career challenges, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, loss, and bereavement. Demographically, I have applied my skills to help people across the human lifespan from children (K-12) as a school social worker to geriatric populations as a medical social worker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f713745ef76050b1c7e56ee/ad56a464-d3d2-420c-ac6f-e3a872e82258/20220617_190326.jpg About - Health and Wellness in a Dynamic world People today are navigating a variety of complex feelings and experiences in a complex and difficult world. Every day can feel like a crisis. While many people and institutions have found some path towards stability or predictability in these times, it is okay if you are not feeling okay! Therapy is a dynamic experience. You may begin seeking support due to one challenge and other unexplored relevant issues may be what keeps you engaged in treatment. Sometimes in therapy, we will focus on what feels like the “problem of the day” and other times we will focus on identifying ways to live well. For more information on what pandemic era wellness looks like, please view my talk with the Health King County Coalition here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f713745ef76050b1c7e56ee/1604373342978-2R2PTMIQ10EXOCCYFAI9/20180629_105349.jpg About - A multifaceted approach My clinical tools are primarily motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness-based CBT, suicide assessment, and a strengths-based approach.
