Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my MSW from Florida International University in Miami and have been practicing in the South Florida community for over 20 years. I have experience working with a broad population of clients and patients with various mental health disorders, such as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD; along with histories of childhood traumas, such as domestic violence and sexual abuse.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, I will then conduct an evaluation to gather your history, work with you on identifying your challenges and problem areas, and develop a treatment plan to outline goals, interventions, and to be guide for follow-up sessions.
Having worked with an adult psychiatric population for the past 20 years, I've developed strong analytical skills, and a client centered style that is both empathic and strengths based. My style of practice has proven to help my clients by gaining insight into their root problems/ and facilitates their expression of thoughts and feelings through the support of a caring Clinician. In addition, my solution focused orientation is well-suited for creating a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I am best positioned to serve adult women between the ages of 18-75. The best work I've done in my career has been with this population.
I have been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my 20+ years of practice. I assist my patients in gaining insight into their areas of concern; and help them to develop coping skills for managing their disorder-- by focusing on developing strategies to change their thought patterns and behaviors to improve their daily functioning and overall well-being.
