Hello there. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) located in Florida, with a Master's degree from the University of Central Florida and over 5 years of experience in the field. My passion lies in assisting individuals of all ages who are grappling with everyday life stressors, adjustment challenges, anxiety, depression, and burnout to discover and embody their fullest potential .
During our initial session, we'll begin with an introduction and then delve into the specific challenges you're encountering. This will enable me to develop a personalized plan that we can address in our subsequent sessions together.
My greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to foster open communication with my clients, creating a safe space where they can freely express their thoughts and emotions and process their feelings.
In my practice, I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy beneficial for addressing conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, PTSD, and various behavior issues. I teach my clients to recognize and challenge their negative thought patterns and to develop healthier coping strategies.
I find TF-CBT particularly effective for individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma, including childhood abuse, interpersonal violence, accidents, and natural disasters. By combining structured trauma-focused interventions with the principles of CBT, TF-CBT helps clients regain a sense of safety, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and ultimately reduce the impact of trauma on their lives.
My experience with Family Therapy highlights its effectiveness in fostering positive changes within family systems, promoting understanding and collaboration, and ultimately improving the mental health and well-being of all members involved. In my practice, I address a wide range of issues including communication difficulties, parenting challenges, marital conflicts, sibling rivalries, substance abuse issues, and adjustment to major life transitions.
My approach to grief treatment is holistic, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique circumstances. By providing a supportive therapeutic environment and empowering clients with effective coping strategies, I am to facilitate healing, adjustment, and eventual acceptance in their grieving process.
