As a clinical social worker I've had the opportunity to work with folks who are in all stages of life. I have experience working with individuals facing struggles with: depression, anxiety, family and interpersonal conflict, grief, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and enhancing self-awareness. I prefer to provide one-on-one therapy rather than couples' work, and enjoy working with adolescents and adults of all ages. My current work leans upon on the theoretical frameworks of: cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), client-centered, and solution focused therapies. I can assist you to develop healthy coping strategies through self-evaluation, skill building, self- acceptance and healing from abuse. Achieving a healthier approach to the way you think, make decisions, and relate to others can help clear a way to the path you want to take!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In your first session, I usually ask you to share relevant information and experiences that are important to why you're here. It will be a low-pressure discussion where you can help to define your comfort level for your sessions. I will also encourage you to ask me questions about myself and my practice.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I'd like to help you pinpoint problem areas in patterns of behavior through a process of self reflection. Having better control over your mood can feel like an impossible feat, but you have the ability to develop healthy coping strategies- through self-evaluation, skill building, and receiving acceptance and healing. Achieving a healthier approach to the way you think, make decisions, and relate to others can help clear a way to the path you want to take! Whether you seek healing from some form of abuse or trauma or you're feeling stuck in an unhealthy pattern in your life, I can assist you in "getting out of your own way" and working to gain greater joy and success in life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Age 17 and older, adults, elderly adults, persons of color, Christians
Psychodynamic
In my practice I incorporate a few different therapy styles. I implement them according to the client's needs. Psychodynamic therapy is one that is underlying all of the work I do, which dives in to an individual's past and experiences that have shaped who they are today. CBT, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques are other treatment modalities I use a lot of in my work.
