Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I received my Masters from Florida International University and have been practicing for 6 years. I help children, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, low self esteem, addiction and more. I help my client's by empowering them and provide emotional support by helping them feel valued and understood. I teach different coping strategies to mange stress and other difficulties.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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 treatment plan specifically for us to work on through follow up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe that my greatest strength is that my work is done with genuineness and sincerity. My desire is to truly see my clients get better knowing that I am walking with them every step of the way.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with individuals who are simply trying to get better in their life and better understand themselves and others. My clients feel encouraged and motivated when they know that they have someone to listen to and understand them where they are at.
