LICSW, 12 years of experience
New to Grow
Greetings: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Dothan, Alabama. I have worked in the field of Social Work since 1999. For the first 12 years of my career, I worked for Houston County Department of Human Resources working with families experiencing issues related to abuse and neglect. Since 2011, I have worked in the field of mental health in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. For the past 5 years, I have worked with Active Duty Military and their families. My treatment approach is to meet the client where they are in their given situation and to provide the best help that I can provide. My focus in treatment is to help the client identify and process their emotions and to help the client learn coping skills that they can apply to their situation. The specific treatment modalities that I utilize during the course of treatment are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Supportive Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I feel that I can be of assistance to anyone in need of counseling services. I can offer the flexibility needed for clients, especially in the age of COVID-19. I look forward to serving clients and providing the best intervention possible.
Clients can expect to participate in an assessment during the first session in order to establish rapport, gather information and develop an initial treatment plan for further sessions.
My strengths are being direct, yet compassionate and empathetic and also meeting the client where they currently are in their lives.
I am interested in serving clients experiencing depression, anxiety and stress management in addition to those experiencing problems of adjustment to life experiences.
I traditionally use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) during sessions, as I find it to be the most beneficial. CBT encompasses identifying thoughts, feelings and actions to personal issues.
