Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 8 years of professional experience. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults struggling with issues related to stress, life changes, anxiety, trauma, depression, self-esteem, ADD/ADHD, and anger. I am the spouse of a retired servicemember so I also have 20+ years of experience navigating the military lifestyle and am aware of the challenges faced by the military community. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina- Wilmington where I majored in Social Work. I went on to earn my Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Central Florida.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll spend some time getting to know one another then, explore the challenges you are currently facing and the goals you have for therapy. This will allow us to establish a specialized plan to work on in future sessions. I want you to feel comfortable with me and the therapy process in order for you to achieve the best possible outcome. I strive to provide all clients with a safe and nonjudgmental environment. Seeking therapy takes courage as it can be intimidating for some people. I am here to make the process as comfortable for you as possible. I will often assign homework in between sessions. This includes worksheets, journaling, or mindfulness exercises. This will allow you to utilize the skills you have gained and identify any new or continued areas we need to work on.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My approach is unique in that I am laid back and easy going which I find makes clients, especially teens, feel more relaxed. I am flexible and understand that your needs may change from time to time. If we need to make adjustments to our treatment plan, that's ok! I am open-minded and will always encourage you to express your opinions and beliefs. I can be contacted anytime on the Grow messaging service and do my best to respond within 24 hours.
