LCSW, 10 years of experience
Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I have been practicing for 10 years. I create space for you to explore and learn new ways to cope with feelings of stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I bring warmth, compassion, humor and empathy to the therapeutic relationship, and I honor and prioritize the development of trust as a necessary foundation for successful treatment.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then start to look at the specific challenges you're facing. I like to look at the person as a whole and address any barriers that may be preventing you from reaching your goals.
Having worked in this field for 10 years I have experience working will young adults, military families and veterans. Through my experience I learned many ways to help individuals manage stressful life transitions.
I love helping young adults find resilience, strength and grounding amongst life's obstacles. It's my life's purpose to use a strengths-based and creative approach to wellness.
Stressors and changes can feel overwhelming at times. However, you can learn to surf life's waves. I can teach you how to harness your strengths, and reconnect to a sense of purpose, belonging, and confidence. This may include addressing problematic feelings, thoughts, or behaviors that leave you feeling stuck or dissatisfied. Or it may involve learning to cope with the unpredictable and often overwhelming challenges that life presents.
I utilize DBT to help clients accept the reality of their lives and their behaviors, as well as helping them learn to change their lives, including their unhelpful behaviors. DBT focuses on skills training and includes mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance
I use short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices This helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.
I aim to create welcoming and engaging environments and services for individuals, based on the understanding of trauma's impact.

First session review: Having previous therapy experience, I've spent the last couple of days thinking about everything I needed to talk about. So by the time we met, I had a lot to say. ADHD made it all come spewing out in 45 min of hot mess. I don't know how she kept it all straight, but she really did listen. She gave good, realistic advice for reducing the stressors in my life right now. All while working toward fixing the bigger issues. Would definitely recommend!
