Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of California. I have a Masters Degree from the University of Southern California and a Bachelors degree in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I spent 8 years in the Navy and have lived all over the world. I have been a Social Worker for 15 years and have been working as a Therapist for 10 years.
Our first session or two we will get to know one another, I will gather additional information, provide a brief overview of my practice and expectations for both of us. We will discuss what brought you to therapy and areas for growth.
I believe my greatest strength is building and bringing out confidence in my clients by helping them build thier coping skills and challenging their thoughts.
I love working with clients who need a little support or motivation to see their strength's within, I love watching clients change and grow through therapy.
I educate clients on Cognitive Distortions, we work together to learn to challenge the negative thoughts and learn to replace the negative thinking with more positive or alternative thoughts.
I help clients be kinder, more patient, more loving to themselves.
Helping clients learn to be in the moment without focusing on the past or the future.
To help clients feel comfrotable expressing their thoughts, feelings and emotions.
To help clients find their strenghts, to build confidence within themselves.
