It is not easy to trust someone else with your personal challenges or just your feelings. I am a compassionate clinical social worker who offers a safe and supportive environment for you to balance your life and empower yourself. Clients often tell me they appreciate my more laid-back, yet professional therapeutic style. My goal as a therapist is offer you a voice and collaborate with you on YOUR goals, I respect your cultural beliefs and your opinions, focus on your strengths, and give you the tools needed to move forward with YOUR goals.
In the first session, I will listen to you tell me the thoughts and feelings that you are comfortable with sharing. I will, at times, ask you a question that comes to mind, in order to help me get to the place I need to be in order to best form a helping partnership with you. You too, can ask me questions that come to your mind. I try to make the counseling preocess as easy and as comfortable as possible.
I genuinely love what I do and very much enjoy my clients. I view our therapeutic relationship as a partnership and I learn as much from my clients as my clients do from me. There is no room for judgment in out partnership. I am here for you, not who I think you should be!
I use this approach in order to empower my clients by teaching them to use their own thoughts and behavior in order to heal themselves.
I use this approach with my clients when I need to help my clients have compassion with themselves and others, all while being non judgemental.
I use this approach with my clients because I love that it uses the positives and strengths in our lives to make productive and lasting changes.
