As a seasoned Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of dedicated experience, I bring a compassionate and solution-focused approach to my work. Throughout my career, I have developed a profound expertise in addressing a wide range of complex issues, including anxiety, depression, issues surrounding interpersonal issues and relationships, and various other life challenges. My journey in the field of clinical therapy began with a commitment to making a meaningful impact on the lives of those facing significant challenges. Over the past 12 years, I have honed my skills through extensive work with diverse populations, specializing in providing therapeutic interventions for children, families and couples.
In the initial session, I prefer to spend the majority of time exploring the concerns and challenges that bring my clients to therapy. Together with my clients, we create a prioritized plan of action in order to identify areas of exploration and growth.
My clients appreciate my ability to meet them where they are. I encourage authenticity and support clients in developing a strong sense of self, without the fear or concern of being judged or misunderstood. I pride myself on being an active listener and provide meaningful antidotes to support my clients in managing their challenges.
I prioritize a client-centered approach, recognizing the unique needs and strengths of each individual. My clients prefer a relaxed, non-traditional therapeutic environment, where I believe in fostering a safe and collaborative team-like space. In my practice, clients feel empowered to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and work towards positive and lasting change.
The way we view ourselves in the world are very much based on our own perceptions and experiences. This is rooted in the cognitions (or thoughts). I will assist you in assessing how your thoughts impact how you feel and behave in the world.
There was a time in your life when you had to overcome something very intense. At that time, you really didn’t see a way around that challenge. I will assist in tapping into that strength and resilience and help you identify a strategy for overcoming any new challenges that you’re facing.
