I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing for 15 years. I specialize in various therapeutic modalities using an Eclectic and Strengths-Based Approach to assist women, adolescents, and children who may be dealing with life stressors, trauma, or simply wanting to learn healthy coping skills. I am here to help you navigate and gain insight through exploration of you.
My approach
I approach therapy with an open mind, free of judgment, and respect for each individual's lens and experience of the world.
My focus
I most commonly use Solution Focused, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Client-Centered, and Existential Therapy. The majority of my experience has been with clients having suffered multiple traumas, substance use disorders, eating disorders, depression, unhealthy interpersonal relationships, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
My communication style
My style is calm, warm, friendly, and flexible in my approach, as we work together towards solutions.
My journey to mental healthcare
I simply think about when I was younger to the present and just how much insight you gain through therapy and exploration. Learning new ways of doing things in life to have more fulfillment and joy as you learn and grow. I want to pass that knowledge and awareness on to others who may be struggling with Mental Health issues and not able to understand how to navigate.
My goals for you
Starting where you are and setting realistic goals for what you would like to work on, change, or master.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will go over how sessions will look and best practices in helping and supporting YOU! I will be asking questions to gauge where you are at and any major stressors currently affecting you. So whether you have been to therapy before or this is your first time. Congratulate yourself on taking that step. It's a BIG ONE! See you soon online!
