As a licensed clinical social worker, I bring a compassionate and client-centered approach to help adults navigate life's complexities. With expertise in mental health and a commitment to fostering positive change, I specialize in addressing issues such as stress, relationships, and self-discovery. My therapeutic toolkit includes evidence-based modalities tailored to your unique needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first therapy session, creating a comfortable atmosphere is key. I start by getting to know you, understanding your goals, and discussing the reasons bringing you to therapy. We explore your history, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. It's a collaborative process, setting the foundation for a trusting therapeutic relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I encompass a holistic and systemic approach to client care. My ability to advocate for clients, navigate complex social systems, and connect them with community resources is crucial. I have strong communication skills which are helpful in building rapport and guiding clients to meeting their treatment goals.

VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidenced based therapy that helps process traumatic memories. I use EMDR to guide patients through recalling distressing events while introducing bilateral stimulation, often through eye movements. This process aims to alleviate the emotional charge associated with memories, fostering healing.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I use it with individuals to identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviors, aiming to improve emotional well-being.
