I am a licensed clinical social worker in FL and licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts. I graduated from Barry University in 2014 and have been working within the mental health and hospital field since. I enjoy helping others overcome the challenges life throws at them. With the right mindset, support and environment, I believe anything is possible. I provide psychotherapy services to clients in a collaborative, supportive, and safe environment.
In our first interaction, we’ll start with a brief introduction; then dive into your reasons for seeking therapy. We’ll go over consent forms, and formulate a goal for treatment.
As a clinician with ten years of experience in diverse fields, I’ve had the privilege to work with everyone from children to older adults; I feel I have something to offer to most individuals. I believe some of my greatest strengths as a provider are my abilities to overcome challenges, my warmth and my ability to empathize with others. I consider myself an overcomer. I’ve experienced many challenges in the past and by the grace of God, I was able to overcome them. I had a great support system who saw me through. My career stemmed from my desire to help pay it forward. I had an amazing therapist who helped me through the grief of losing my daughter 15 years ago; my goal is to help others without losing judgement. “Joy comes in the morning.” I believe you can see the light at the end of that tunnel if you’re determined and willing.
I work with adolescents, children, adults and the elderly in the areas of behavioral issues, depression, addiction, family conflict, life challenges/transitions, self-esteem issues, and grief and loss.
I try to help clients to reframe their mindset by looking at the positive aspects of their lives, past achievements, positive relationships and life goals.
CBT is one of my go to techniques in therapy. I try to help clients replace their unhealthy thought patterns with helpful ones. Replacing problematic thoughts with positive ones.
There’s no one size fits all in therapy. My goal is to provide emotional support, encouragement and validation to help reduce stress and manage accompanied symptoms.
