My superpower is to motivate and empower you to discover your purpose amidst chaos and ensure 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 through personal growth. I believe life is meant to be enjoyed! I will be your cheerleader to achieve your goals! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, with a Master's in School Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have 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 literally from newborn to 101.
During our first session, 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 while empowering you to make informed choices about your care. I never stop learning and educating myself in the field of mental health so I can best support you.
My ideal client will be open to therapy regardless of some hesitancy. Like I give all clients a chance to open up, I am asking for the same. Once feeling comfortable, I only ask for honesty because without honesty there is no growth. I will provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to freely express yourself so we can get to the root of any issues and determine the best plan. Patience is also helpful because change does not happen overnight and sometimes just a change in perspective is the need.
Strength-Based
I am skilled in helping you identify and utilize your strengths to overcome obstacles. I know everyone possesses strengths and together we will utilize them to achieve your desired goals. During challenging times, recognizing them can be difficult which is where I assist and guide you.
Motivational Interviewing
Through Motivational Interviewing, I will guide you in discovering your objectives and utilize your current abilities. I will work collaboratively with you to design effective action strategies. I've assisted individuals in overcoming hurdles related to school, employment, and relationships by helping clients establish concrete steps to resolve their issues.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
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 attainable steps to overcome the issue.

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!
