Hello there, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years experience in therapy serving many populations. My journey to becoming a therapist began with a strong and natural curiosity about human behavior. This curiosity fuels the desire to understand why people think, feel, and act the way they do, ultimately leading to a passion for helping others navigate their psychological challenges.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Much of the primary focus of the first session will be building rapport, understanding your reasons for seeking therapy, and gathering information about your background and current situation, leading you to therapy. We'll then collaborate on how best to move forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs, fostering a safe and supportive space for growth and healing. Through evidence-based intervention, modality and personalized support, my clients are empowered to reclaim their lives and build fulfilling relationships. My communication style, incorporating motivational interviewing, aims to help clients understand the gap between their desired outcomes and their actual behaviors, ultimately fostering a stronger commitment to change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Have you ever felt discouraged, disappointed, and discontented? I endeavor to foster an environment where you will feel heard, seen, and supported in your journey to being restored, refreshed, and renewed. If this resonates with you then congratulations, you've taken the first steps to healing and improving your quality of life. Allow me to assist you in making every step you take count.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The story we tell ourselves and live by can either positively or negatively impact our quality of life. Challenging negative, often maladaptive ways of thinking and behaving can lead to a marked improvement. Together we will upgrade your story with positive actions and enhanced skills for the future.
