As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide therapeutic services to individuals, families, and groups. My role involves assessing clients' mental health needs, providing counseling and psychotherapy, and connecting them with community resources. I work collaboratively with clients to address emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges, helping them develop coping strategies and improve their overall well-being within a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment.

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

During the first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can freely share their concerns and goals. As a licensed clinical social worker, I'll start by building rapport and establishing trust. We'll discuss confidentiality and the therapeutic process. I'll ask about your history, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve in therapy. Together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. You can expect empathy, active listening, and a collaborative approach as we work towards your well-being and growth.
