LCSW, 9 years of experience
I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, family conflicts, motivation, self esteem, confidence and depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, discuss confidentiality and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. Together we will create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
As a therapist, I will move at your pace. Our sessions will be comfortable and challenging when needed.
I love to work with individuals who ready to dive into therapy and learn new skills to address their struggles.
I have used cognitive based therapy for the past six years. Through the use of journaling and other thought monitoring methods, we will identify your triggers and use cognitive restructuring and reframe your thoughts to manage anxiety and depression.
Through the use of motivational interviewing I assist clients identifying goals, barriers and setting boundaries fro themselves in order to meet these goals.
During our sessions, DBT can be used to help manage anger and alleviate anxious thoughts. Together we will explore coping skills such as mindfulness and distress tolerance.
