Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW and LICSW) based in Florida also license in MA and MI. I received my Masters from Walden University and have been practicing over 5 years. I am more than a therapist; I am your ally on the path to healing and personal growth. I provide compassionate and personalized therapy to help you navigate life's challenges, achieve your goals, and improve your overall well-being. My approach focuses on empowering you with practical tools and insights to foster personal growth, emotional stability, and fulfilling relationships. Together, we will create a safe, supportive environment for your healing and self-discovery journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where you can share what's on your mind. Here's a general outline of what the session might look like: Introduction: I'll introduce myself and explain how our sessions will work. I'll also ask you about your expectations and what you're hoping to achieve. Getting to Know You: I'll ask some questions to understand your background, current situation, and any specific issues you're facing. This might include your personal history, family background, work, relationships, and any previous experiences with therapy. Setting Goals: We'll discuss your goals for therapy. What do you want to change or improve in your life? This helps us create a focus for our sessions. Exploring Concerns: We'll start to delve into the issues that brought you to therapy. This might involve talking about recent events, ongoing challenges, or deeper emotional or psychological concerns. Developing a Plan: Based on our conversation, we'll begin to outline a plan for future sessions. This could include specific techniques, homework, or areas of focus. Questions and Clarifications: You'll have the opportunity to ask any questions you have about the process, and I'll clarify anything you're unsure about. Throughout the session, my goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable opening up. The first session is primarily about building rapport and understanding your needs so that we can work together effectively in subsequent sessions.
