Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I specialize in helping clients with trauma and PTSD, Personality and Mood Disorders, so that they can lead happy and more fulfilling lives. I graduated with my Masters in Social Work from Marywood University in 2015 and I have been practicing in this field ever since. I also really enjoy all forms of Family Therapy to help people heal relationships and communicate better with those they love most.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session we will go through your intake information, what is bringing you to therapy, what you hope to get out of therapy and your background that may have led to the difficulties you are now experiencing. I will answer any questions and we will build rapport in a very calm and non judgmental setting.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Compassionate, relaxed, my approach tends to be not giving people lots of worksheets to complete, but rather to go on a journey of self exploration for the client to figure out for themselves who they are as individuals and what is causing their distress and I am just there to guide this process while utilizing elements of different therapeutic models to get you there.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have a particular affinity for working with clients who struggle with trauma and PTSD, as well as those who struggle with Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Personality Disorders and anxiety. I really enjoy helping people to heal their past so that they can move on to a happy and fulfilling future. Clients who are looking to health themselves and their relationships with others in a relaxed, no pressure environment tend to work best with me!
