I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of professional experience in the mental health field, working with adolescents and adults. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults of any age. I have experience working with individuals living with major depression, anxiety, and PTSD, as well as individuals living with serious and persistent illnesses.
In my therapeutic approach, I pull from a variety of treatment modalities tailored to your needs and challenges, using evidenced based practices, that include Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution focused therapy and Motivational Interviewing, that assist with developing tools and skill building to manage illness/issues daily to improve recovery. I have always enjoyed helping people, as well as being able to provide guidance with challenges as well as joys throughout people's lives. Life isn't always easy, but having emotional support and a cheerleader sometimes is helpful with getting through it.
My goal is to have a relaxed atmosphere during each session. I encourage openness as we build rapport with one another. A smiling face is always waiting to hear, listen and accept what the client has to say in their safe space.
I encourage the client to think about the goals they would like to accomplish during this journey, and we will process the goals together to get understanding of the need.
My goal is to help those that I encounter through their life Challenges and assist with developing tools and processes to get through those difficult times. Together, we will develop and cultivate your strengths as we journey through this season in your life.
