I have been working as a licensed clinical social worker since 2011. I have worked in substance abuse treatment facilities, mental health clinics, elderly and veterans' outreach, with children in homes, and private practice. I love working with people and witnessing change. I believe everyone has the capacity for change. My integrative approach allows me to help everyone uniquely to meet individualized needs.
A first session is an opportunity to see if we will be a good fit. You will be asked several questions regarding what brought you to therapy, your background, and goals. I want an understanding of who you are and where you want to be.
I do not treat any two clients the same. I believe I am successful in combating negative thinking, recognizing and changing destructive patterns, and empowering others to create change.
Every person is unique and requires an individualized treatment plan. I believe in creating and utilizing a variety of methods to meet the needs of person in front of me including CBT, DBT, Solutions Focused, mindfulness, and hypnotherapy.
