Olivia is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who provides individual adult psychotherapy. She has 10+ years of experience working in a variety of behavioral health settings, and she has worked in every level of care (i.e., inpatient, residential, partial, intensive outpatient, and outpatient). She works with clients struggling with eating disorders/disordered eating, poor body image, anxiety (including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and post-traumatic stress disorders), depression, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. She especially enjoys supporting young adults through the various life stressors and transitions they encounter as they become more independent. 

Olivia is fascinated by the mind-body connection, and she takes a holistic, trauma-informed, and solutions-focused approach when working with clients. She primarily draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based strategies. She has had specific training in exposure and response prevention for anxiety disorders and behavioral activation for depression. Olivia enjoys providing psychoeducation to help clients better understand their distress and treatment options and individualize their care. She aims to foster a collaborative and supportive environment. She works with clients to identify their strengths and values, creatively utilize their resources, and connect to their support systems in order to gain peace and confidence, improve their functioning, and live in a manner that provides them a sense of meaning and purpose.
