I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in treatment of PTSD, stress management, and life changes. I have worked in the fields of residential treatment, case work, individual therapy, children and family services, and incarcerated individuals. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have experience in using mindfulness. I look forward to seeing what we can do together on your way through life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our 1st meeting will be primarily a question and answer time to get to know each other's personalities more and determine if and how this can be beneficial and workable for you.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize CBT, Motivational Interviewing, education, and building upon coping strategies to help manage unpleasant thoughts and feelings.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have been told that sometimes weakness can be strength and vice versa. I use humor to help talk and ease tensions. I promote acceptance of feelings and allowing them to be what they are. If we are going to do something that is not the most fun thing to do, we can work to identify reward to self and building upon resilience.
