Social Work Superhero: Two Decades of People-Fixing Magic
After 20 years of herding humans through life's messiest moments, I've collected enough stories to write several bestsellers (with names changed to protect the innocent, of course). My career has been a front-row seat to the spectacular show that is human resilience—where everyday people perform extraordinary comebacks.
My therapy style? Imagine having a conversation with someone who genuinely cares about your saga while also possessing an arsenal of science-backed techniques to help you rewrite the troublesome chapters. I create judgment-free zones where your deepest thoughts can finally come out of hiding and your emotions don't need to wear their formal attire.
My therapeutic toolbox rivals any home improvement store—packed with cognitive-behavioral strategies for mind renovations, solution-focused techniques for fast repairs, and mindfulness practices for those moments when your brain needs a timeout. I customize faster than those build-your-own burrito places, because cookie-cutter approaches belong in the kitchen, not therapy.
Whether you're battling anxiety that's working overtime, depression that's outstayed its welcome, trauma that keeps sending unwanted postcards, or relationships more complicated than assembly instructions—I've seen it, even helped with it.
What gets me out of bed each morning? The absolute privilege of watching people discover they're actually the heroes of their own stories. Nothing beats the moment when a client realizes they had the power all along (very Wizard of Oz, but with better therapeutic outcomes).
Ready to transform "I can't" into "just watch me"? Let's team up!
