Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida, I received my Masters from the University of Central Florida and have been practicing for 7 years. I help children and families struggling with Grief & Loss resulting in Depression and Anxiety. "Healing Hands" Therapy works through the cycles of Life, Growth, and transformation with the belief that Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Sell-Being are interconnected.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with children and their families for the past 7 years I have developed a process using the five stages of grief after loss to help identify the challenges of bereavement. An individual tailored plan will lead to measurable progress through (a) Act Therapy and (b) the transformation with the belief that physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being are interconnected.
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past five years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
I use ACT aids for grief counseling by promoting acceptance of distressing thoughts and emotions, aligning actions with personal values to regain identity and purpose, and improving coping strategies through psychological flexibility.
