Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been providing psychotherapy for a wide variety of issues and populations for over eight years. I graduated from Roberts Wesleyan College in 2013 with a Master in Social Work with a mental health concentration.
I would describe my approach to be goal-oriented and client/person-centered, which leads to engaging, practical approaches to problem-solving many concerns as they relate to individual stressors. This style of therapy is an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy that stems from traditional behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.
The goals are to learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent oneself from moving forward in their lives. Exploring the healing process or enriching one’s personal growth, first and foremost, requires establishing a trusting and emotionally supportive relationship. Change is not easy, but it is possible
