Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I have over 25 years of experience working in the mental health profession. I see people virtually for issues related to anxiety, depression, substance use/addiction and trauma. I want to help you change and grow in a positive direction in order for you to achieve your goals.
During our first session together, we will focus on what is essentially the reason why you feel you need therapy at this time. We will then focus on the challenges that you are facing. Next we will discuss what you would like to change in order to begin to feel better. Lastly, We will come up with a plan of action for our work together.
I decided to become a therapist very early on in life. I feel that it is truly my passion. I express care and concern for people as I focus on their overall well being. I find that my down-to-earth nature has helped me convey empathy and compassion for my clients. This ability has really assisted me in helping others to work through their issues and become the best versions of themselves.
I have used this CBT for a number of years with clients and find it to be very effective in creating positive change.
I believe that identifying and focusing on people’s strengths and utilizing these strengths in the therapeutic process to be beneficial.
I have worked with several clients who have had a number of different traumas. I don not use one specific method to treat trauma. I work with the client to find the best mode to heal from trauma possible for that individual.
I believe that there is a strong connection between body and mind. I teach individuals how they are interconnected and how they affect people in positive and negative ways. I build on positive connections between body and mind for overall healing.
