As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am committed to empowering individuals and couples to overcome life's obstacles. I specialize in offering compassionate therapy and assistance for issues such as substance use, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, and various life challenges with individuals and couples. My passion lies in creating a safe and supportive environment where my clients can embark on their journey towards healing and personal growth.
I hope to bring a warm and safe space so together, we can gain a better understanding on how to manage and resolve the issues that brought you in for treatment.
I am solution oriented with a focus on the client and a warm approach. My approach is to provide a non-judgmental, supportive environment to understand what is happening and lead a more fulfilling life in terms of purpose, homelife, work, relationships.
To begin I like to acquaint myself with the client's viewpoint and then move into cognitive restructuring or reframing which involves looking at thought patterns and re-writing the story you tell yourself. Some of the methods I use are psychoeducation, skill building and behavioral strategies to avoid triggers.
Prolonged exposure teaches a client safety by taking a gradual approach to trauma-related memories, feelings and situations clients learn that trauma-related memories and cues are not dangerous and do not need to be avoided.
