Greetings, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years experience in therapy serving many populations. My journey to becoming a therapist began with a strong and natural curiosity about human behavior. This curiosity fuels the desire to understand why people think, feel, and act the way they do, ultimately leading to a passion for helping others navigate their psychological challenges.
Much of the primary focus of the first session will be building rapport, understanding your reasons for seeking therapy, and gathering information about your background and current situation, leading you to therapy. We'll then collaborate on how best to move forward.
Have you ever felt discouraged, disappointed, and discontented? I endeavor to foster an environment where you will feel heard, seen, and supported in your journey to being restored, refreshed, and renewed. My communication style, incorporating motivational interviewing, aims to help clients understand the gap between their desired outcomes and their actual behaviors, ultimately fostering a stronger commitment to change.
Congratulations, you've taken the first step on your healing journey. Allow me to assist you in making every step you take count. My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs, fostering a safe and supportive space for growth and healing. Through evidence-based therapies and personalized support, I empower individuals to reclaim their lives and build fulfilling relationships.
The story we tell ourselves and live by can either positively or negatively impact our quality of life. Challenging negative, often maladaptive ways of thinking and behaving can lead to a marked improvement.
