Hey there! The name's Dora, like the explorer, but instead of maps, I navigate emotions. I'm a licensed social worker hailing from the sunshine State of Florida. I earned my Masters from the University of South Florida and have been honing my craft for about 6 years now. Just like Pam from The Office finding her footing in the Dunder Mifflin world, my passion lies in supporting young adults facing career stress and burnout, helping them unlock their fullest potential. Let's embark on this journey together towards becoming the best versions of ourselves.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our initial session, my focus is on understanding you and your unique needs. I'll walk you through the therapeutic process, discuss expectations, and establish clear boundaries. Creating a stress-free, warm, and welcoming environment is my priority. Life can be overwhelming, and my aim is to alleviate rather than add to that stress. Let's make our sessions something you can look forward to.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
What sets me apart in my worldview perspective is my diverse experience across different populations. I've worked extensively with older adults in aging services, witnessing firsthand the challenges of caregiver burnout and the complexities it entails. Additionally, my time in a correctional facility allowed me to engage with young adults facing issues such as suicidal ideation, homelessness, domestic violence, and complex trauma. Drawing from my military background as an active duty member and now as a military spouse, I bring a unique understanding of the military population. As a contractor, I focused on domestic abuse cases and prevention within military communities. This breadth of experience informs my approach to therapy, allowing me to tailor my support to each individual's specific needs. My biggest strengths lie in my ability to blend humor, compassion, and a down-to-earth, non-judgmental approach. Plus, I'm not afraid to drop a well-placed F-bomb when the situation calls for it.
