As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have gained experience in numerous settings while working over the last 9 years. Coming into the individual therapy space has been a rewarding experience, where I see growth and change in each person I've worked with through the process of therapy.
I am trained/studied in numerous evidence based practices, but I like to let clients know that I take an eclectic approach to therapy. I want the sessions to feel like a conversation. I cater the sessions to what you need and you respond best to. First, this is your space and we find comfort here by being reflective, inquisitive, and exploratory. Afterwards, we introduce some challenge in order to grow and learn. Lastly, we work to conclude our time together so you can move forward and use the skills, mindset, and outlook that you've garnered in this space to your own life.
Sessions usually are free-flowing. I take your lead and work together in them. The first session is always an intake where I get to know of your background and what you're seeking to work on in therapy. For subsequent sessions, I follow a loose model where the first 10 minutes - we discuss top of mind and things that you may want to prioritize. For the next 40 minutes, we unpack that top of mind items together. Then for the last 5-10 minutes, we wrap up, reflect, and discuss what to focus on in the next session.
