Whole-person centered practice where everything belongs.

I have been a social worker since 2005 and have worked in foster care/adoption, high school settings and college. I approach treatment with a lens of unconditional positive regard for my clients, but I will not sugar coat things. We come to therapy because life gets hard and confusing, there is room for everything you bring.
