Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois. I received my Masters from Clark-Atlanta University and have been practicing for 3 years. I help children struggling with anxiety and depression. I help young adults and adults manage anxiety and depression by teaching coping skills and encouraging them to use them throughout their daily lives to improve their symptoms.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, we will get to know one another better by asking what your interests are, what your therapy experience has been, and by assessing your symptoms to understand if we will be a collaborative pair. After the assessment, we will coordinate what goals you would like to achieve and discuss how I can support you in meeting your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I can provide my clients with a safe place while being able to challenge them to achieve the goals they have set for themselves. I individualize my approach to therapy and like to have therapy be more like a conversation with the client taking the lead.
