Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing services in Illinois, Florida, and Tennessee. I've been working with children and adults since I received my Master's in Social Work in Iowa. I enjoy working with children, teenagers, and adults, and have worked with clients through private mental health agencies and within the school system.
I've been using CBT for much of my time working with children, adolescents, and adults to help them find success working through many challenging thoughts and feelings, including those associated with anxiety, depression, and working to improve self-esteem. CBT helps clients to become mindful and aware of how their thoughts can impact their feelings. When we work through these processes that often happen quickly and automatically, clients can find success as they become more mindful and learn to shift their thoughts to lead to more positive feelings and outcomes. Through CBT, we can build healthy daily routines that will lead to lifelong positive effects.
Our first session will include a review of a client's background, life experiences, past struggles, current struggles, and goals for the future. We will then work towards establishing short-term and long term goals to work towards.
