As a clinical social worker and substance use counselor I understand the importance of everyone having a healthy support system. I believe it is important for our mental health to be prioritized assisting with stability and positive growth. I am eager to work with individuals navigating different challenges across the developmental span from children to adults.
As a therapist my goal is to create a healthy and safe place for client's to feel vulnerable and have the tools and supports in navigating their goals. I will work towards understanding each client's individualized needs and tailoring strategies to each client specifically. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Person-Centered Therapy and more. I work with clients experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, autism, emotional regulation, and substance use.
The foundation to a healthy therapeutic relationship is focused on building rapport with clients. The first session will be focused on building rapport with client's and gaining clarity and understanding of the purpose of treatment and outlining treatment goals.
