Hi ! I am a licensed clinical social worker who has worked in the field of mental health and healing for over 15 years. I love hearing the life stories of others and exploring with them how they can get some healing from life's challenges. I am also big on looking at one's strengths and accomplishments in life. I believe that many people already are on their journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, one can expect to hear me briefly introduce myself and how I came to be a licensed clinical social worker. One can expect me to ask them what brought them to seeking some healing and an explanation of how therapy works. I will also answer any questions that they may have about therapy and the healing process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked in the field of mental health for over 15 years. I have worked in patient as well as outpatient, so I am very familiar with life challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I like to teach those that I work with to identify their automatic negative thoughts in response to triggering situations and use techniques such as thought records or journals to help capture and analyze their thoughts. I also assist in challenging and restructuring thoughts to explore the accuracy and validity of their negative thoughts. I also encourage the gathering of evidence for and against their thoughts and develop more balanced, realistic alternative thoughts.
