Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), with 10 years of experience. I am specialized in helping people with Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, self esteem issues, and women’s issues. Each session is client centered, and I utilize different approaches based on your unique needs. Some modalities I use include Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma focused therapy, mindfulness based therapy, and solution focused therapy. I see clients aged 18 and older for individual therapy via Telehealth.

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

In our first session, I will gather information to understand your background, childhood experiences, and current symptoms/challenges you are facing in your life. We will also discuss what your goals are for therapy and how we can work together to achieve these goals.

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

Having worked in multiple settings and with various diagnoses, I’ve learned to attend to each client as their own unique case. I take the time to get to know you and look for patterns that you may have not noticed in your life, and will help you identify and process your thoughts and feelings. Therapy is a journey, and I encourage all my clients to be compassionate with themselves.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am specialized in helping people with Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, self esteem issues, and women’s issues. Therapy is most beneficial with reoccurring appointments every week or every 2 weeks.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

With CBT, I will help you to identify negative thought patterns and find alternate more rational ways of thinking.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

DBT is helpful with mood regulation. DBT is usually used for the diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, however, the tools can be used by all individuals to help with managing emotions and mood swings.

Trauma Informed Care

Trauma-informed care is a strengths-based approach that is grounded in an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness is the awareness of one's internal states and surroundings. It can help people avoid destructive or automatic habits and responses. Some strategies including breathing exercises, meditation, and body scan exercises. We can use this in session or I can send you resources to practice this on your own in between sessions.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.
