Clients say this provider is
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who approaches the therapeutic relationship with a mindset of growth! I take delight when my clients have willingness to make improvements to better the quality of their lives. Using a solution focused approach working together to overcome barriers such as childhood adversity, conflicting relationships, major life challenges, and losses. My approach to providing therapy include trauma focused, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and working on communication to help strengthen relationships. I enjoy helping clients build on tools to help them navigate through life.
In our first session we will discuss goals, reasons for wanting therapy at this time in their lives, getting to know more about the client and relevant history that will help in providing appropriate interventions in treatment.
My communication style would be a gentle and direct approach were I demonstrate empathy to help guide my clients into making their own decisions. I provide a comfortable space for clients to express themselves without the fear of judgement or criticism as I want our relationship to be a foundation to building other healthy supportive relationships.
I work well with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, and other major life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a treatment approach that is very effective in treating many disorders such as anxiety, depression and PTSD. In my experience clients will have negative thoughts about themselves and/or the world around them limiting them to have positive experiences. Working on creating more realistic fact based thoughts will help remove barriers to living life to your full potential.
Narrative therapy assists clients in developing a healthier perspective of themselves and life experiences. Clients are able to externalize the problems, deconstruct negative unrealistic thoughts of their story, and create a healthier view of themselves.
Trauma-Focused CBT approach when working with clients with traumatic experiences help integrate different coping skills to manage physical symptoms, work through their emotions and any negative distortions. This approach will help the client with recognizing resiliency and bring hope into their lives.
