Elevation Gain Counseling Services LLC

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have been in the social work field for over 15 years in a variety of settings with diverse clients. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Human Services with a minor in Women’s Studies and Psychology from the University of Delaware, and my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Delaware State University. My primary language is English. I have experience serving adolescences, young adults, adults, and older adults. My areas of expertise include trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem, life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, LGBTIQA+ issues, adoption and parenting issues. I am Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) trained and actively working on certification I believe that counseling is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgment, and I cooperatively assist my clients in clarifying their goals for treatment. Rather than adopting one methodology for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored approach for each individual. I love to interweave EMDR, polyvagal theory, internal family systems, attachment theory and somatic interventions to support healing. As a therapist, I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct. I consider myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to counseling.
