Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I received my Masters Degree from Florida Atlantic University, and have been working in the field of Mental Health and Substance Abuse treatment since the beginning of 2019. I have experience as an inpatient Primary Therapist, Clinical Supervisor, and outpatient Primary Therapist serving the US Veteran population.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our initial session I will gather more detailed background information from you, we will explore your current situation together, and we'll get to know each other. This will allow us to build therapeutic rapport and set specific goals/objectives for future sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe my greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to empathize with my clients. As someone who has experienced my own personal struggles with mental health, I have insight surrounding the ways in which this can impact every aspect of life. I have learned first hand, and through my education and professional experience, a myriad of ways to effectively manage mental health disorders and cultivate resilience. I feel extremely passionate about assisting/guiding others through their own life challenges.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have been utilizing CBT within my practice for the past five years. I've watched countless clients learn how to effectively manage anxiety, depression and other mental health symptoms through the implementation of CBT concepts. We will use CBT to identify unhelpful thought patterns you may be engaging in and the ways in which these are impacting your emotional and behavioral responses. We will also explore adaptive ways to counteract negative thought processes, cope with challenges you are experiencing, adopt healthier behaviors, and improve your overall well-being.

Daialectical Behavior (DBT)

I often use DBT concepts within my therapy approach to assist clients in improving their ability to implement acceptance, emotional regulation skills, and healthy communication strategies. We will work together to pinpoint which DBT concepts and techniques are most appropriate for your unique situation and improve your motivation towards growth and change.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing is an extremely valuable and collaborative tool that I have employed to guide, empower, and inspire my clients in their therapeutic journey. This modality will enable us to evaluate your personal goals, increase motivation for change, and resolve ambivalence.

My first session with Sally was impactful. Her down to earth approach eased my mind and soul. I look forward to continuing my healing journey with her.

I've only been with sally for a month now but in that month I've never felt more seen and heard in my life. I love that she takes the approach of just 2 girlfriends(at least with female clients lol) sitting and talking. It really helped me to relax and be able to feel safe going through this healing journey im on. And she has been so patient with me even when im not giving myself that same grace. She really is the best!! Highly recommend

WOW!!! Sally is the one!! After all these years of searching for someone I can onnect with, I was starting to think that person didn't exist. I've always been very skeptical with therapy because of that and all the textbook shit they tend to throw at me. Sally is extremely intelligent, REAL, nice and respectful, and down to Earth! Sally is definitely no BS and straight to the point :) We love her! <3 I got goosebumps! she hit the nail on the head so hard and so many times. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
