Hi I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)- I'm here to listen, support, and maybe even sneak in a little wisdom along the way! I have experience (11 years) working in multiple areas including but not limited to: inner conflict, conflict with a partner, family, work and life transitions. The bulk of my experience is working with adolescents and adults (mainly adults who work in the education field/setting).
Therapy at times can feel intimidating! In our first session you can expect brief introductions and then diving into the specific challenges/stressors. This will help us create goals for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Life can be tough sometimes and it can be helpful to have support along the way while you’re facing a difficult time. With adolescents and having worked in the secondary school setting for several years I have a grasp of schools systems and common current stressors that teens experience. With adults, I've worked in my private practice for years and have helped clients feel less overwhelmed and help their life become more manageable. Regardless of the client I am always honest, upfront and open minded.
This treatment can help people feel happier/ more satisfied with life by focusing on their strengths. I use a strengths based approach throughout treatment with every client.
This technique teaches you to stay calm and focused on what's happening right now, so you feel less stressed . It also helps you understand your thoughts and feelings better; I've utilized this method with teens and adults.
This treatment can teach you to accept what you can't change and commit to actions that make life better. It helps you deal with difficult thoughts and feelings so they don't control you.
