LCSW, 4 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I received my Master's from Saint Leo University and have been in private practice since 2023. Prior to this I have worked in the mental health field for the last 6 years. I help clients of all ages, however work mostly with adolescent and young adults especially within the LGBTQ+ community.
That first session is the get to know you session. I like to dive right into the root of the problem and identify the barriers to our potential goals. Sometimes our goals for therapy can change so I will often check in to make sure we got to talk about everything that you wanted to talk about.
Having worked with adolescent and young adults most of my career this far, I've developed a way of being able to resonate with most of my clients. I believe myself to be open-minded and non-judgmental which serve me well working with any client.
I really enjoy working with any client who is goal-oriented and knows what they want from therapy. If you don't know what you're really looking for that is okay to, we would work on identifying your goals.
Utilizing CBT we would establish goals for therapy. We would also identify barriers and identify negative thought processes.
This treatment approach uses power of thoughts and emotion and how they influence physical health.
