Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with my Masters and Bachelors from Northern Arizona University. I have been working as a mental health professional for 3 years, working in the behavioral health field for 6 years total. I am passionate about helping individuals feel empowered and validated, creating a secure environment to discuss areas of life that can be reflected on. I look forward to meeting you!
Within your first session, we will discuss what led you to reach out for support. This will allow me to evaluate how I can best assist you. From there, we discuss an overview of your past, present, and future. I would then like to discuss your history, such as your upbringing or trauma exposure. We talk about your day to day, such as your supports, job, and a typical daily schedule. Last, we will identify a goal that you would like to focus on as we move forward.
As a provider, I want to make sure you know that I am seeing you as a person instead of a list of symptoms or diagnosis. We will have to talk about difficult topics at times, but I enjoy doing our best to laugh and stay uplifted during session.
I enjoy working with all age groups: adolescents, young adults, and adults.
Cognitive behavioral therapy allows you to gain control over your life by seeing how your thought process impacts your emotions and behaviors. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to emphasize understanding of oneself.
