If you are struggling with stress or depression, I can help. Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am licensed in Virginia, Utah, and Nevada. I feel that therapy is a gift you give yourself. I work online as a telehealth therapist. I enjoy meeting you where you are at and helping you get through the rough spots, whether it's finding your voice, identifying the obstacle and need for change, or just understanding from a different perspective. I work mainly with clients who have experience with anxiety, depression, and trauma in their life.
In our first session we will have a brief introduction, then I will gather information about you that will help me understand your purpose for coming to therapy. In this first session we will determine the obstacle in your path and gather a little personal history. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I chose to work in mental health after experiencing the need of understanding mental health within my own family. I am a mother of four grown children and grandmother of six. I've had the opportunity to experience different cultures as I lived in South Korea and traveled throughout the world. I have close ties with the hearing-impaired community, as my husband lost his hearing at age three. I have been able to view life from different perspectives over time which I believe adds insight and understanding to the value of each life!
When working with different mental states or disorders, I prefer to give some insight on the disorder and the most recent studies that help to manage or resolve the issue.
The power of thoughts greatly impacts the emotional and behavioral well-being. It is important to identify thought patterns that are not serving oneself and to create new patterns that heighten self-awareness and empowerment. This has been the main modality I have used in treatment for anxiety and depression.
This modality helps to relieve the disturbance of maladaptive memories in the memory network. I have used this modality in telehealth sessions using various forms of bilateral stimulation.
