I've been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 14 years and love what I do. I approach all my clients with empathy and compassion whatever reason they are seeking therapy. If this is your first time trying therapy, you will soon realize that you are simply having a conversation with a person that knows how to listen and wants to get to know you. I approach my clients with unconditional positive regard, acceptance, and non-judgment. I work to create a safe environment for them to feel confident that I can hold their pain and gently ask questions to find out why they are seeking treatment. I know that I’m not here to be your friend but to provide a service and help you learn the right tools to regulate their emotions, describe in words their inner pain, and keep their hope instilled.

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

During the first session, I try to find out what brought you to therapy in the first place. I get a brief mental health and medical history, asking questions that are suitable for the session. I always ask the last time you’ve seen a doctor, do a suicidal assessment if necessary, and ask the client what they want to get out of therapy. I propose a short detailed list of how we can get the ball rolling only after I check to see that the client wants to move forward with me.

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

Goals are only possible with trust and rapport with the client. Goals are created through conversations with the client about the issues they want to work on., I help to set up short-term goals while we are building bridges to the long-term goals. I do not define or prescribe your goals and do not want to tell anyone what to do. Together we carefully come up with reasonable and achievable goals together and work as a team on them weekly.
