I am a licensed LMSW in Michigan and a LCSW in Florida. I received my masters degree in social work in 2015 and have been working with children and families since. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), family oriented perspective, trauma informed care have been critical to my training.
I work with clients using a compassionate, listening-centered approach that emphasizes understanding each person's unique experiences, strengths, and challenges. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. My practice incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. I also utilize a family-oriented perspective, recognizing the important role that relationships and family dynamics play in overall well-being and personal growth.
During our first session, clients can expect a welcoming and collaborative conversation where they have the opportunity to share their concerns, ask questions, and discuss what brings them to therapy. Together, we will begin identifying goals and exploring solutions using a solution-focused approach that builds on strengths and supports meaningful change. The initial session is also a chance for us to determine whether we are a good fit for working together. If it seems that another therapist may better meet your needs, I will support you in finding appropriate resources or referrals.
