Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida but I am also licensed to provide therapy for clients located in Georgia. I received my Masters degree from Saint Leo University and have been practicing for 7 years. I help adults struggling with trauma, stress, and feelings of overwhelm. My therapy style draws upon Attachment Theory and cognitive behavioral principles.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. In addition to learning about the challenges, I will also explain the therapy process, including the limits of confidentiality and any administrative details that may be relevant to your specific needs.
As a trauma-informed clinician, I specializes in the treatment of trauma related disorders. I provide therapy for a variety of issues including trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, and anxiety. I match well with those who prefer a more structured, directive, and solution-focused approach.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely utilized approach in therapy practice that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is grounded in the idea that our thoughts influence our emotions and actions, and that changing negative thought patterns can lead to improved emotional well-being. In my therapy practice, CBT is typically implemented through structured sessions where clients work with me to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach used to treat individuals experiencing distress as a result of past traumatic events. In therapy practice, EMDR aims to help individuals process traumatic memories and associated negative beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations.
