LCSW, 15 years of experience
Life has a lot of stressors coming your way daily. I work with individuals to provide a safe space to reframe, challenge, and explore new ways of thinking. I am engaging, open, and empathetic to your needs. I would love to meet you and begin helping you on your healing journey. I specialize in assisting clients understand the confusion that anxiety clouds and depression storms can cause by facilitating expressions of feelings, challenging self-defeating thoughts, and encouraging change.
When we first meet, please feel comfortable to open up and talk about your background as a child and adult. You will have an opportunity to explore how life experiences affect your current mood and mental state. Just be calm and relaxed during your session first session with me.
I am a therapist who leaves the college books on the shelves and meets the client where they are. I believe that the best approach is to be relaxed and comfortable while relating to clients' stories. I also have a proper sense of when to share personal life details with a professional balance.
I work well with clients who are motivated for change but open to seeing different perspectives. Clients who enjoy a good laugh, but also want to get to the deep-rooted emotional dysfunction hindering progress in their lives.
I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques with Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness skills included.
