LCSW, 3 years of experience
Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW). I'm based in Georgia. However, I'm licensed in Tennessee, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Kansas. I received my Masters from the University of Tennessee and have been practicing for 3 years. I enjoyed working with young and elderly adults. I am passionate about assisting clients break cycles, manage their mood, setting boundaries, and improving their overall mental well-being.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, discuss background information, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create an individualized plan for our time together.
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to connect to my clients. I cultivate an environment of healing, freedom, and laughter and employ an array of treatment modalities to enable my clients to achieve their desired outcome.
I enjoy working with clients who have a desire to change, but don't know where to start. They often feel sad, stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious.
I utilize CBT to assist clients in learning how to manage and improve their mood. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach to therapy which focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts. I educate and partner with clients to identify negative thoughts, challenge negative thoughts, and implement behavioral activation.
This treatment modality is short term and goal oriented. I utilize this approach to helps clients overcome difficulties by focusing on a solution to their problem instead of the actual problem. I partner with clients to enable them to identity their strengths and resources to overcome challenges they are experiencing.
This therapeutic intervention is utilized to provide information and support to help people understand and cope with mental health conditions.
ACT is a mindfulness-based approach utilized for a variety of issues. I utilize ACT to assist my clients in accepting their thoughts and feelings without judgment to process difficult emotions.
