Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the state of Kentucky. I earned a Master's in Social Work and I have been practicing for 13 years. I help adolescences and adults find ways to heal from their trauma, help them become more self aware, and to stop negative thinking, so they can become the best versions of themselves.
In our first session, we will spend time getting to know each other, and discuss what you are looking for in your therapeutic experiences. This will help me form a tailored plan for the direction we will go in our following session.
My greatest strengths as a therapist is my empathic nature and my drive to assist others in problem solving. I want my clients to feel that they are heard and understood. My goal is to get you to the place that you strive to be.
I work with people who are of age 12 to 70 and above. I help individuals who are in need finding happiness, balance and fulfillment. I want to help my clients explore their past and present, and make sense of their experiences and the choices they have made, so they may then peace and direction.
I have used CBT with my clients to assist them in self discovery to understand their fears and insecurities so they feel more confident to change behaviors and enhance their lifestyle.
Through the process of Motivational Interviewing (MI), I have assisted individuals to discover what the want from their life and explore their ambivalence to find the motivation to make changes.
I have collaborated with my clients to find short term solutions that can provide opportunities to make more vital changes through motivation and positive results. Some of my clients feel more confident in making changes if they receive positive results by making small, safe steps towards their goals.
I have worked with a diverse group of individuals who have experienced substance abuse, unhealthy relationships, and many mental health conditions such as OCD, depression, and self doubt. Through TF-CBT, we will work towards healing, eliminating negative thinking, and acceptance so you may move forward with a new perspective and the confidence to make the changes that you desire.
