As a therapist with 18 years of experience in the social work field, including 10 years providing mental health therapy services, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to support individuals on their journey towards improved well-being.
My approach
My approach to therapy is centered around starting where the client is and determining the most suitable therapy modalities for each unique situation. I draw upon a diverse range of techniques, including Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical (DBT), Mindfulness-Based, Reality Therapy, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Strength-Based, and Solution Focused approaches.
My focus
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with active-duty military members, spouses, veterans, teenagers, and older adults from various ages, cultures, and backgrounds. I am experienced in addressing a wide range of distress and needs, with specialties in areas such as Anxiety, Borderline Personality, Coping Skills, Depression, Grief, Job Stress, Women's Issues, Stress, Relationship Issues, and Peer Relationships.
My communication style
I believe in fostering an open, collaborative dialogue where you feel heard and understood. My communication style is warm, non-judgmental, and direct, focusing on creating a safe space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. I tailor my approach to your unique needs, drawing upon my diverse therapeutic toolkit to support you in your journey towards well-being.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in providing compassionate and effective mental health care.
My goals for you
My goal for you is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can collaboratively explore your challenges, identify your strengths, and develop strategies to help you lead a more fulfilling life. I am committed to empowering you with the tools and insights needed to navigate life's obstacles and achieve your desired outcomes.
My first session with you
In our first session together, we will focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance, discussing your reasons for seeking therapy, and identifying your goals. This initial meeting will allow us to establish a foundation of trust and understanding, setting the stage for our work together moving forward.
