Hey there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with a variety of ages and settings. My prior experience includes private practice, working at an inpatient mental health hospital, and crisis intervention. Throughout all of my experience my goal has remained the same- to allow you to feel safe, valued, accepted, and known. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and parents. I believe therapy can be helpful in any season, and I am here to offer a safe and supportive environment. I believe a spiritual component of therapy can add great strength to the treatment process, but I am able to follow your lead on faith-based care. I understand how overwhelming therapy can be and I am so proud of you for taking the first step! I can't wait to walk closely with you on this journey towards healing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will review your intake forms, discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, set goals, and begin to establish rapport with one another. I will ask questions to understand your background, concerns, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. It's also a chance for you to ask any questions and discuss the therapeutic process.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I offer an eclectic approach using CBT, client-centered therapy, and solution-focused modalities. My speciality areas include communication, boundary setting, parenting, anxiety/depression, and life transitions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
After being in the field for over 8 years, I see the importance in fully knowing a client and allowing them to feel safe to be their authentic self.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with families who need help with parenting. From personal experience, I know it takes a village and I want to support you on your parenting journey. I also enjoy helping clients with anxiety and/or depression to help increasing their coping skills. I enjoy helping others increase their self-esteem and manage their stress.
