New clients continue care with this provider

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who is compassionately driven to help others improve their lives through individual therapy sessions. I believe everyone deserves to live their best life, have purpose, happiness and fulfillment and learn how feel happy and optimistic. I am able to help you find ways to motivate for change, grow, learn new skills and develop on your path towards better mental health. I am a reflective listener who will walk with you, letting you lead the way as you are the driver and expert in your own life. Only you know what problems you are facing and what you want to accomplish from coming to therapy. I am here to help you achieve your goals, and fulfil your dreams.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with getting to know one another and what brings you to therapy that you want to work on. If you're struggling with thoughts of suicide we'll likely create a safety plan. Or jump right into simple CBT techniques to learn and practice. It's your session so feel free to talk about whatever pressing concern you may have or ask as many questions as you may have. We together will attempt to identify three personal treatment goals and I will help tailor interventions that will be appropriate based on your personal needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Genuine compassion. "No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care" I believe my humility, open minded views, and empathic listening skills are key to the quality therapeutic services I provide. I have many years working with individuals helping them improve their lives, this experience will allow me to continue to make positive lasting changes for those I serve.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work well with adolescents to late adulthood. I have experience treating a wide arena of issues from mild depression and anxiety to severe mental illness. I have knowledge on the treatment for trauma, addiction, codependency issues, grief and loss, eating related concerns, sleep issues, or other maladaptive behaviors including suicidality, self harm (cutting, etc.) and more. I am a Christian, if this is your belief system I can help support you to use this belief in your treatment. I am quite liberal, open minded, work with LGBTQ populations and any other spiritual beliefs or cultural backgrounds. I am versed and apply culturally sensitive treatment and will consider these when developing our treatment plans. I am diverse in my work and life experiences and will help you with an openminded non judgmental caring lens.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Learning to change negative thoughts to more healthy and helpful thoughts to boost mood.

Trauma-Focused CBT

Identifying feelings, and learning safe place imagery, and relaxation techniques to help heal and move through past traumatic experiences to promote recovery and growth.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Learning to control emotions, practice mindfulness techniques, and understand the "wise mind" approach with radical acceptance. These interventions can free oneself from negative built up emotions and help with letting go and moving on towards peace and healing.
