LICSW, 18 years of experience
Greetings, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. I have a passion for helping clients learn & master healthy coping strategies that will help them better manage their symptoms. In this thing called life, we often face challenges that can seemingly feel overwhelming. Rest assured you are not alone; millions struggle daily in finding ways to cope with it all. I have been a provider for over 17 years. I am a proud graduate of the University of Georgia Graduate School (MSW) and University of Birmingham (BSW).
The first session is all about rapport building and assessing your needs. The first session allows us to start our therapeutic relationship. You and I will have the opportunity to build rapport with one another. We will use this time to discuss events that led up to current symptoms, social history, and create a plan of action (treatment plan).
My greatest strengths as a therapist are: 1. I am an open-minded, 2. compassionate, 3. solution-focused, and 4. reality-based. I will always give honest feedback and use evidenced-based best practices during your treatment.
I serve adults that face challenges in managing symptoms related to depression, anxiety, mood & personality disorders, substance abuse issues, grief/loss issues, and trauma.
As a clinical therapist, I have utilized CBT interventions as the initial basis of treatment throughout my career.
