I am a social worker that is easy to talk to. I provide services in a compassionate and culturally competent manner. I have an extensive work history with disenfranchised and underserved communities. I specialize in working with depression, trauma and anxiety.
Initial sessions begin with an assessment and discussion about your therapy goals. When providing services; I factor in the totality of systemic and personal stressors that may contribute to a depressed mood and functioning. I determine which intervention I will use to assist you. Believing that we are usually doing the best that we can, I usually utilize the strengths perspective in addition to other interventions to reinforce gains and provide encouragement.
Clients can expect to take away the knowledge that therapy can be empowering. Clients can expect to get in the habit of looking not only at what is not going well their lives but to also notice and acknowledge those things that have been working. Clients can also expect to leave with tools for managing symptoms of stress and anxiety.
