Hi there, I'm Gelisa!
I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in helping individuals navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and relational challenges through a compassionate and empowering lens. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where healing and personal growth can take root. I also specialize in trauma-based practice.
My focus
I do not have an ideal client. I believe in meeting everyone where they are in their healing journey. Most of my clients have roles where they support others. I support them in learning to make space for their own healing. I focus on helping to identify patterns and build emotional awareness to create lasting change.
My approach
My approach to care is warm, collaborative, and rooted in compassion. I believe healing begins with feeling understood, so I create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their emotions without judgment. I use a trauma-informed and strengths-based lens. I work with my clients by challenging them, working to build insight and balance.
