Aine (pronounced An-ya) is an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW) who works with adolescents and adults. She is trained in Brainspotting (Phases 1 and 2) and Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT).
Aine draws on experience gained across diverse environments in the system of care. She primarily works with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, relational conflict, shame, and a low sense of self-worth. She especially enjoys working with people who are exhausted from maintaining perfectionism and over-extending themselves, and who struggle to make time for their own needs.
Aine’s approach centers the client and their needs, offering compassionate attunement from a place of authenticity and humility. She supports clients in learning to distinguish internalized stigma, mistreatment, or disenfranchisement from their own genuine intuition. Aine finds it exhilarating to witness individuals recover their autonomy through their own efforts and agency.
