Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in the state of Florida since 2021. I am also currently licensed in Massachusetts and Colorado. I attended Rivier College for my BA and University of New Hampshire for my MSW. I have worked in multiple settings, including healthcare, hospice , adoption, addiction, and general outpatient mental health and relationships.
Many clients benefit from psychoeducation. Many times issues are caused because the client is unaware of the dynamics of mental illness, child development, or a specific disease process. Educating them on what to expect can greatly impact their understanding and acceptance.
I have been in the field for over 7 years and have experience with multiple types of clients. I have four children I raise as a single parent. I have children with ADHD, Auditory processing disorder, dyslexia, and also have an daughter with major special needs. I am accepting of everyone, regardless of race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, and background.
I believe that all of us have strengths that sometimes we are not even aware of. I have found that these strengths are important to build on in therapy.
I have found that the roots of some traumas can be traced back to problems with attachment. In order to have healthy relationships, it is important to recognize your attachment style. In therapy, you can learn healthy styles of attachment.
