Hello there, I'm Clover.
I am a passionate, Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals find strength, healing, and personal growth. With 8+ years of experience in the field, I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges.
I believe in the power of human connection and the significance of a non-judgmental space. My approach combines evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, with a person-centered focus. By tailoring my interventions to each individual's unique needs and goals, I aim to empower my clients to overcome obstacles, develop healthier coping strategies, and thrive in their lives.
My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and substance use. I strive to create a collaborative therapeutic alliance where we work together to identify and address the root causes of distress. I am deeply committed to fostering personal growth, resilience, and self-compassion within my clients.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, clients can expect a collaborative and supportive environment where their concerns, experiences, and goals are paramount. I typically begin by establishing trust and rapport, ensuring confidentiality, and explaining the therapeutic process. Clients will have the opportunity to share their reasons for seeking therapy and discuss any specific challenges or issues they face toward working together to tailor particular goals for treatment. It is expected to feel a range of emotions during the initial session, but clients can expect a non-judgmental and empathetic atmosphere where their experiences are validated and respected.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Emotions can be challenging. As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate their feelings and find ways to manage them. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, non-biased space where we can explore your concerns together, helping you to find peace and clarity in your life. Remember, seeking support is a sign of strength, and I am here to help you through this journey.
I am excited to embark on this therapeutic journey with you, offering guidance and support every step of the way. Your well-being and growth are my utmost priorities. Let us work together to create positive change and empower you to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a therapeutic approach focusing on understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In my practice, I utilize CBT to help clients develop a deeper awareness of their thoughts and how they impact their emotions and actions. I explain to clients that CBT involves identifying and challenging negative and unhelpful thought patterns and replacing them with more realistic, positive thoughts. Through this process, clients can gain control over their thoughts and develop healthier coping strategies. I also emphasize the importance of implementing CBT techniques in real-life situations, encouraging clients to practice new ways of thinking and behaving outside our therapy sessions. Overall, I find that CBT empowers clients to participate in their healing process and achieve long-lasting change actively.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on accepting and embracing complex thoughts and emotions while committing to actions aligned with personal values. In my practice, I integrate ACT to help clients develop psychological flexibility and live a more meaningful life. I explain to clients that ACT involves understanding and acknowledging the inevitability of challenging thoughts and emotions rather than trying to suppress or avoid them. Instead, we work together to identify their core values and set meaningful goals that align with those values. Through various mindfulness and acceptance techniques, clients learn to observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment and make choices that align with their values. I also emphasize the importance of committed action, encouraging clients to take small steps toward their goals, even in the face of discomfort and fear. By incorporating ACT into my practice, I have witnessed client's experience increased self-awareness, improved emotional resilience, and a greater sense of purpose and fulfilment.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling is a therapeutic approach to improve the relationship dynamics between partners. With some Gottman training, I have gained valuable knowledge and skills to assist couples in resolving conflicts, enhancing communication effectively, and fostering intimacy. In my practice, I utilize the Gottman method to provide evidence-based interventions that promote healthier and more satisfying relationships. I explain to couples that this approach involves assessing the unique dynamics of their relationship and identifying areas of strength and growth. Through various exercises and techniques such as "Love Maps" and "Four Horsemen," I help couples understand their patterns of interaction and develop strategies for effective communication and conflict resolution. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of nurturing friendship and fondness, fostering emotional connection, and maintaining a positive perspective. By integrating Gottman's research-based interventions in my practice, I have witnessed couples gain insights, improve their bond, and create a solid foundation for a fulfilling and lasting relationship.
Racial trauma treatment
Racial trauma treatment is an essential component of my practice, as it addresses the significant impact of racial discrimination and systemic racism on individuals' mental and emotional well-being. Through my experience in working with clients who have experienced racial trauma, I have witnessed the profound effects it can have on their self-esteem, identity formation, and overall mental health. In my practice, I utilize a trauma-informed approach that acknowledges the unique experiences and challenges faced by individuals who have endured racial trauma. This includes creating a safe and validating space, providing psychoeducation on racial trauma, and utilizing evidence-based interventions, such as ACT and mindfulness techniques. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their experiences, validate their emotions, and develop coping strategies to navigate the complexities of racial trauma. By integrating racial trauma treatment into my practice, I aim to empower individuals to heal, reclaim their identities, and foster resilience in the face of racial adversity.
