Meet Norah

My specialties include providing the appropriate coping skills to treat problematic response patterns ranging from perfectionism to codependency. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I help clients process their experiences with the whole picture in mind; considering their history, culture, identity, and underlying systems of privilege and oppression. I take a therapeutic approach that is both kind and challenging, motivating clients to reach their goals. Over the past decade, I have collaborated with individuals to confront a wide range of barriers holding them back from living the life they desire.
