LCSW-C, 24 years of experience
Hi! I'm a licensed clinical social worker specializing in working with POC on many issues. I am specifically trained to work with anxiety, depression, spirituality, grief care, family conflict, vocational stressors, life transitions, and trauma. Although I primarily work with POC, I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds. My background is in medical social work, which has included trauma, chronic illness, end-of-life, hospice, and palliative care.
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.
Having worked in a hospital environment with many clients, I have learned to apply empathy, patience, respect, and good listening skills. I want nothing more than to see my clients grow and evolve into the people they hope to become.
I am best positioned to serve clients who are struggling with anxiety and depression and need support to process trauma. I love working with POC to help resolve various stressors related to life transitions, family conflict, spirituality and establishing coping strategies.
I have been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with great success for the past five years and have extensive training in this approach.
I utilize a myriad of approaches taylored to the client's specfic therapy goals. These approaches include Solution-focused, Acceptance and Committment Therapy and aspects of Dialectical Behavioral therapy.
I have been a grief therapist for over 15 years and received extensive training in Grief Care. I have also worked in hospice and end-of-life care.
