I do live sessions 12p-11p Sun, Wed, Thurs and reply to messages between sessions. I'm flexible and easy going. I try to be my authentic self in all areas of my life. I've been working in Social Work since 2007. I've worked in many settings and many cultures. I've learned that our therapeutic relationship is most important and is built by having many conversations about whatever is on your mind. This is how we can work together to find ways to progress in your personal goals. I also believe the science behind mindfulness-based stress reduction, and I typically use that as a starting point in therapy.
