I am a seasoned licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), a graduate of the University of Georgia based in Georgia. I have been practicing as a Therapist for 8 years now, meet my clients “where they are" and start the therapeutic alliance from that vantage point. With compassion and empathy, I work with clients to cultivate the skills and tools they need to thrive, manage their challenge(s), and live their best lives.
In our first session, we will start with introduction, review of intake information, practice information, and developing goal(s) surrounding your reason for being in therapy. Sliding scale available upon request with income verification.
My greatest strength as a provider is being compassionate, empathetic, non-judgmental, rapport building, and providing a safe space for my clients.
I utilize DBT in my work with clients for emotion regulation, skills / tools for managing distress, practice of mindfulness and how to effectively interact with others - interpersonally.
In my work with my clients, I utilize CBT for identifying thinking errors, reframing thoughts with strategies, positive self talk, and processing challenges
I use motivational interviewing with my clients to help clients become self aware of their inner strength, realize that they can make the change they are want to see happen in their lives, and build self confidence.
I utilize Christian counseling for clients who identify as Christians and would like to incorporate biblical principles into their therapeutic experience.
