I will motivate and empower you to find an improvement in your life. Life is hard. Life is chaotic. You will know you are not alone in life. My motivation is supporting those who are wanting to improve their life satisfaction whether that be in schooling, parenting, relationships, careers, and/or personal growth. I believe that life is meant to be enjoyed. As long as a client is willing to be genuine and honest, I am a guide to meet their goals. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I graduated with my Masters in Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I practiced as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts for 13 years. I have worked in homes, communities, schools, hospitals, and psychiatric facilities. I have literally worked with all ages from 0 to 99.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

We will review your knowledge and expectations of therapy. We will create the goals YOU want to reach. As a client, you will be made to feel safe and accepted as your authentic self. You will know that I will be dedicated to guide you in reaching your goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider, I have been able to build strong relationships with my clients as I accept others as who they are. I genuinely believe every person has strengths and ability for change. I provide psycho-education (knowledge about your diagnosis), as well as, utilize evidenced-based treatment. This allows clients to make informed choices regarding their treatment.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

We all have strengths and weaknesses. When strengths are identified, they can be utilized to address our weaknesses. When suffering, it is often difficult to identify our strengths. I am skilled in assisting clients to identify and utilize their strengths.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing supports clients to determine the goals they want to reach. Together we will create an action plan that will empower you to reach your goals. I have guided clients through occupational and relationship issues to create steps in addressing these issues.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Through Solution Focused Brief Treatment, clients are empowered to reach their goals in the short term. Not everyone needs therapy for years on end. If you need to address just one issue, I am skilled in identifying how to conquer the issue.
