I will motivate and empower you to discover your purpose amidst chaos while ensuring you feel supported. As a working mom, I understand the demands of a busy schedule and the desire to find perspective and joy in life. My passion lies in assisting you to seek greater life satisfaction, whether through school, parenting and caregiving, relationships, career advancement, and personal growth. I believe life is meant to be enjoyed. I serve as a guide to support you to achieve your goals! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago and 13 years of experience as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts. I have worked in diverse settings, including homes, communities, schools, hospitals, and psychiatric facilities while serving individuals of literally all ages.
Together, we will review your knowledge and expectations of therapy. We will establish your goals while I provide a safe, accepting environment for you to explore your authentic self. I will be dedicated to your progress.
As a provider, I build strong relationships by accepting clients for who they are. I believe everyone has strengths and the ability to change. I provide psychoeducation (knowledge of your diagnosis and treatments) and utilize evidence-based treatments, empowering clients to make informed choices about their care.
I work with motivated teenagers, students, adults, and parents seeking increased life satisfaction. With genuine honesty, I can guide you toward your goals. I've helped clients with parenting, adjustment disorder and grief, depression, anxiety, substance misuse, PTSD, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and other mood disorders.
Everyone possesses strengths and weaknesses. Identifying and leveraging these strengths can effectively address weaknesses. During challenging times, recognizing these strengths can be difficult. I am skilled in helping clients identify and utilize their strengths.
Through Motivational Interviewing, I guide clients in discovering their objectives and utilizing their current abilities. I work collaboratively with clients to design effective action strategies. I've assisted individuals in overcoming hurdles related to school, employment, and relationships by helping them establish concrete steps to resolve their issues.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment empowers clients to achieve their goals efficiently. I believe therapy doesn't always need to be a long-term commitment. If you're looking to address a specific issue, I'm skilled at identifying simple steps to overcome it.

I am encouraged after my first session. I am not in serious trouble - I just need guidance and I already feel like she will be very helpful. She is very easy to talk to!
