I am a compassionate licensed clinical social worker that is here to provide you with support and help you once you have decided you want to make changes. My goal, as a counselor, is to provide you with a safe, dedicated space that promotes healing, lifelong change and guides you in the direction you want to go. I know that life presents many challenges. I believe in a collaborative approach; we work together and help reach your goals as a partnership. I know that starting therapy can be scary or overwhelming. You are taking the first step in ensuring you have the resources and tools to help you succeed. Together, we will help you find the best road in life! I am able to help clients struggling with ADHD, Bipolar, Depression, Trauma, Addiction (either struggling with addiction or families that have a loved one struggling with addiction), Anger, Parenting struggles, Isolation, Relationship problems, Anger, Mood disorders, Personality disorders, and other issues. I help support my client with meeting their goals. I believe in adapting the process to best meet your needs. I meet my clients where they are and I offer flexibility in the process as we work together. Together, we can meet your goal! I also can help with marriage/family related problems and offer couples and family counseling. I also have evening availability and can meet on Saturday/Sundays for appointments.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will focus on understanding your current challenges and helping to develop a plan together to work on these challenges. My goal is to help you develop an action plan, one that can be updated as needed. We will work together on your goals and ensure we follow your treatment plan. I always make sure we operate as a team and offer full transparency.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a social worker, I am compassionate and a good listener. My greatest strength is that I seek out resources and always willing to help my clients succeed in any way I can. I am always here for the client in a gentle and kind way.
