Hello there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) currently practicing in North Carolina. I obtained my degree from Fordham University in 2020 and have been practicing for four years now. Originally from Michigan, I moved to North Carolina in 2019 to enjoy the sunny weather. I am a proud owner of two adorable dogs - Teddy, a Newfoundland and Franklin, a Bernese Mountain Dog. Franklin works as a service animal, while Teddy provides emotional support. I absolutely love bringing them to work with me as they offer a unique kind of support that only animals can provide.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first therapy session, we will discuss important topics such as confidentiality, my role as a mandated reporter, and consent to treatment. We will go over the intake forms that you filled out, your expectations for therapy, and the goals you want to achieve. I understand that it might feel strange to talk about personal and sometimes life-changing events with a stranger. But I want to assure you that I will never force you to talk about things you are not comfortable with. Also, if you feel like we are not making progress or you want to change our goals, that’s perfectly fine. My only aim is to support you throughout the process, and ultimately, help you overcome your challenges. In fact, my ultimate goal is for you to feel confident enough to end our sessions when you feel ready!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
If you're feeling uncertain about your identity or questioning if you're living up to your full potential, it may be time for a change. I approach personal development from a person-centered perspective, helping you to recognize and appreciate the progress you've already made. Let's start your journey towards achieving your goals and realizing your true potential today.
