Do you feel overpowered by your emotions? Do you have a hard time communicating to others how you feel? You are not alone. I know from my years of experience working in mental health that we all have the power to make changes in our lives. My therapeutic approach is to help individuals take a look at how their thought patterns and emotional responses impact their actions and behaviors. Our work together will focus on the present so you can build towards an emotionally healthy future. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have a passion for helping others overcome their feelings of constant worry, overwhelm, and disconnectedness. And while reaching out for help is not easy, it is a necessary first step towards your goal. If you are ready and willing to put in the work you will be amazed at what you can learn and accomplish.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
The treatment method used will depend on the client and their specific goals for therapy. Some of the methods I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is my ability to connect with others and make them feel heard. We are all the experts of our own lives and I feel privileged when people choose to share their story with me. I started in Community Mental Health then transitioned to inpatient care at Sheppard Pratt when I obtained my license. I have experience and comfortability working with people from all different walks of life.
