I have been a licensed social worker for five years and have a background working in a variety of settings and various populations. I have experience working with ages 6 and up with issues ranging from suicidality, psychosis, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, etc. I strive to make each client feel safe, heard, and validated. I give tough love and redirection as needed.
I like to use evidence-based interventions(CBT, DBT, Humanistic, Psychodynamic etc.) when it comes to therapy. I believe the client is the expert of them, even with my expertise, I will never know the client better than they know themselves. I recognize that each client is different and may require a different approach/intervention. With that being said, I welcome feedback and am always open to client suggestions on their treatment.
Clients can expect to have semi-formal conversation to discuss current concerns that prompted the search for a therapist, goals, review expectations of both therapist and client, discuss limits of confidentially, and obtain any additional background information that can be helpful in treatment planning.
