Healing With Empathy
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey. I specialize in working with adults to provide therapeutic support to manage life transitions, improve self-esteem, time management, anxiety and stress. Life can bring many changes whether it is related to career, relationships, parenting or personal growth.
I have furthered my education by completing a certificate in sport social work, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
My goal is to provide a supportive space to navigate these transitions, set intentional goals, create actionable plans, and strengthen resilience. In therapy we can work together to navigate these changes that can feel overwhelming. As a mental health provider, I believe in the importance of self-care, healthy humor and finding opportunities to continue my education to best support my clients. I am fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
First session
In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming environment to start or continue your therapeutic journey. The initial session will focus on building a therapeutic rapport and trust to increase comfortability in a therapeutic setting. We will discuss your interests, expectations for therapy, current challenges and any additional topics you feel comfortable sharing. This session is tailored to you and your comfortability to share your journey. In future sessions, I would like to explore your individual goals for treatment and ways to achieve identified goals. In addition, we will explore positive coping mechanisms to manage current symptoms.
Strengths
I believe my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to build trust and a therapeutic rapport with my clients. I provide a nonjudgmental stance, empathy and encouragement to support my clients to meet their individual goals. I continuously work on furthering my education on various topics related to mental health in order to remain current and best support my clients. I have furthered my education by completing a certificate in sport social work, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I believe my desire to continue learning helps support a diverse therapeutic skill set that focuses on individualized treatment to fit my client's individual strengths and needs.
Ideal clients
I specialize in supporting clients that are experiencing low motivation, self-esteem, anxiety, difficulty with adjustment and life transition. Adulthood can be exciting and at times quite difficult. I can provide a holistic and empathic therapeutic approach to support individuals to help increase motivation, improve self-care and reframe limiting beliefs.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I practice a strength based, culturally sensitive, solution focused and goal-oriented approach to assist individuals to identify and connect thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Collaboratively, we identify coping mechanisms to manage symptoms and explore ways to support your individual treatment goals.
