As a Licensed Clinical Social worker I believe in helping you, to help yourself. Balancing the everyday challenges of life at work, at home and in relationships can be difficult to navigate alone. I will use a client-centered approach and various evidence-based practices to help you on your journey of self discovery and to manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Let’s work together to develop the skills and resources you already have, as well as discover new ones in order to problem solve and achieve measurable progress towards your therapeutic goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions to get to know one another and then address what problems or life events have prompted you to seek therapy. Once we have identified what specific challenges you are facing, we will discuss goals, expectations and how the therapeutic collaboration can work towards developing a plan to achieve those goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having served clients in Florida for the past 8 years in my work as a clinician and in welfare, my professional and personal philosophy is to meet people where they are. Therapy is a vulnerable journey of healing. I will utilize individualized care and collaboration to make you feel accepted, safe and ready to become the best version of yourself.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have five years experience with utilizing CBT in my practice to assist an array of clients from adolescents to vulnerable adults and elderly to problem-solve. We will work together to discover how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. Then we'll use that knowledge to alter your thinking patterns, which will help you to live a better life.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I have been practicing Solution-Focused Treatment modalities for three years to help clients to utilize supports and positive coping skills they already posses to achieve a goal or desired outcome.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I have three years experience with using Mindfulness-Based Therapy in my practice. It has helped many clients to utilize acceptance, breathing exercises and other tools that will help them replace their negative thinking with calmness, compassion, and positive action to remain in the present and break away from negative thought patterns.
Motivational Interviewing
In the three years I have utilized Motivational Interviewing in my practice, I have helped dozens of clients to help themselves. With MI treatment, we will address apathy and resistance to change. With this knowledge clients can begin making positive change in their lives.
Psychoeducation
I have five years experience with practicing Psychoeducation with my clients. With this treatment, I will provide knowledge, resources and positive coping skills to clients to help them understand their disorder and prevent relapse.
