LCSW, 8 years of experience
I have many years working with patients across the lifespan. I have been a therapist for the past 8 years but have been in the field for almost 18. Prior to becoming a therapist, I provided case management services in a variety of settings. I am very creative and enjoy using play and art therapy techniques with those populations. Services are tailored to each patient. I believe in a collaborative approach as you are the expert of your life! I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches including Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation and Problem-Solving Therapy. Life can be difficult, but I can help you navigate your journey!
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.
I am easy going & personable. I meet people where they are, partnering to help them along the journey of healing. I am knowledgeable about a variety of therapeutic techniques and can customize treatment based on the client's needs.
I have experience in working with those across the lifespan. As a virtual provider, I see patients as young as 10.
I have many years of experience in using CBT to see the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors/actions.
I have many years of experience in the providing grief therapy to those across the lifespan.
I offer compassion focused therapy. I also do work to help others learn to have compassion for themselves as well.
I offer culturally sensitive therapy; I know and understand the importance culture plays in daily life.
I love using MI to help people explore the stages of change and help them work towards accomplishing goals.
