Emotional pain cannot kill you, but running from it can. Allow. Embrace. Let yourself feel. Let yourself heal. – Vironika Tugaleva
As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in supporting teens, young adults, and adults as they navigate life’s transitions and challenges. My approach is centered on creating a compassionate and collaborative environment where individuals feel empowered to explore their emotions, build self-esteem, and manage difficult feelings and symptoms. My style is both empathetic and proactive, aiming to help individuals reframe unhelpful thought patterns and build effective coping mechanisms. While specific modalities like CBT and DBT are cornerstones of my practice, it’s the genuine connection and trust we build together that truly facilitates change.
Prior to joining Therapy Today, I earned my Master’s of Social Work from the University of Michigan. I have worked extensively with children, teens, and young adults in an outpatient setting, guiding them through their unique journeys and challenges. I have worked with a diverse range of individuals, from young children navigating early life experiences, to teens addressing mental health challenges, to parents seeking guidance on managing their children’s behaviors. My methods have been tailored to each demographic, always prioritizing the individual’s unique needs.
