Hello, I am fully licensed clinical social worker. I have the pleasure working with families, children and adults pertaining to grief and loss, depression, anxiety and transition in life. I have experience providing therapeutic services in the hospital, psychiatric crisis services and outpatient settings. I enjoy helping others identify their feelings and being confidence in expressing how they feel to others.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In first few sessions, it is about building rapport, becoming comfortable in sharing issues or concerns. In first session, the client can express what led to our session, their current stressors, if any history with therapy ( if it worked or not), explore what the client will like to work on. In addition, the client simply share whats in their hearts.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Listening is the key. It is imperative to listen and show support while the client is sharing their story.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working those that what to process feelings/emotions and learn to cope with unexpected situations.
