Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. 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, a Clinical Supervisor, and an outpatient Primary Therapist serving the US Veteran population.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to empathize with my clients. As someone who has experienced my own 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.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with adults of all ages. I have extensive experience with individuals from ages 18 all the way into their 80s. I best serve clients who are struggling with depression/mood disorders, anxiety, addiction, trauma, lack of self-esteem/self-worth, and codependency/relationship issues.
