With over 10 years of experience in patient care, I specialize in working closely with patients, caregivers, and family members, particularly those recently diagnosed with chronic and catastrophic medical conditions. My extensive background in the healthcare field has equipped me with the skills and compassion necessary to provide exceptional support and guidance during challenging times. I will help you with the emotional support and coping skills so you will be much better prepared for the road ahead.

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

"In our first session, we'll take some time to get to know each other and discuss the challenges you're currently facing. Together, we'll explore how we can help you adjust to your new diagnosis and develop effective coping strategies."

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

"As an LCSW, my strengths include empathy, active listening, and strong communication skills. I have a deep understanding of the interactions between medical conditions and mental health, and I'm skilled in problem-solving and crisis management. I have personally dealt with this is my family and I know the effects it has on everyone. I bring cultural competence, patience, and flexibility to my practice, ensuring that each treatment plan is tailored to individual needs.

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

I am here to assist you in finding your "new normal," explaining your situation to your family and co-workers, and helping you maintain a positive self-image. Together, we will work to retain as many cherished routines and rituals as possible while integrating the necessary changes into your life.
