Hello, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience in helping those in need of healing and coping with life issues and struggles that may interfere with daily living. My therapy approach is to build a relationship with my clients and create a safe space to allow clients to feel comfortable enough and trust in when sharing difficult emotions.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the our first session, I would like to provide support and build rapport with my client while exploring the reasons and motives for seeking treatment.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I consider myself to be an empathetic and compassionate professional who will support you in your healing journey.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with individuals in various stages of life who are in need of support and direction with dealing and coping with various life challenges.
