Hello, I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Indiana. I attended graduate school at Indiana Wesleyan University and have a Masters in Social Work. I have about 5 years of experience as a therapist. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as a case manager in a community mental health role for several years serving in an outpatient setting.
During the first session, I would like to work on building the therapeutic relationship which is the most important aspect of the therapeutic process. I will ask questions to get a better understanding of issues and goals.
I feel that I am both compassion and supportive in working with individuals.
I utilize CBT to help identify cognitive distortions, maladaptive thoughts and feeling. Once these are identified and recognized we can work together to challenge and make changes that are important to you.
