I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW ) in the state of Florida. I believe in the importance of building rapport with clients. I want my clients to feel as comfortable as possible, and I do my best to achieve this by using a client-centered approach. I tend to use a Cognitive Behavioral approach with an emphasis on Mindfulness. However, I believe in utilizing an approach that is best for my client this may also include Dialectical Behavioral or Solution Focused therapies. Regardless of what you are dealing with, I am here to help you get through it. I have experience with depression, anxiety, anger management, trauma and much more. Let’s work together and get started on your healing journey.
In our first session we will do introductions and dive into the reason why you have decided to pursue counseling at this time. This will give me a better picture on how I can support you and create a customized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I can also answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process and what else to expect.
I am very down to earth and easy to talk to. I work to develop a good therapeutic relationship and focus on solutions.
I have seen great success with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to help clients identify unhealthy behavior patterns and strategies that can teach them how to replace unhealthy behaviors with healthier behaviors. CBT helps you to cope with overwhelming problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts. I have seen great success with clients experiencing anxiety and depression.
