I am a License Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters from Case Western Reserve and have been practicing for 8 years. I am committed to empower and help people heal to become their best selves. I help young adults struggling with career stress and burnout become the best versions of themselves. My counseling style is a warm and interactive approach focusing on ineffective behaviors, habits and beliefs. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to help clients reach their goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session is a get to know you focusing on questions about your history, including your childhood, education, relationships (family, romantic, friends), your current living situation, and your career. Then we will discuss the specific challenges you're facing such as; *what are your symptoms? *what brought you to therapy? *what do you feel is wrong in your life? This will help me create a treatment plan with goals and objectives for us to work on together in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have genuine care and concern for each one of my clients. Everyone needs to know that they are being heard and someone cares about their struggles. Collaborating with each client on issues they want to work on is key. Setting specific, achievable, measurable, and relevant goals (SMART) helps the individual to see the progress they are making.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT to help clients recognize the link between their thoughts and behaviors, which in turn makes it easier for them to change their behavior. Also using Cognitive-behavioral therapy in Christianity combines a therapeutic approach in reducing thoughts and behaviors that are informed by their religious beliefs and resources.
Strength-Based
I believe in focusing on an individuals strengths and seeing them as resourceful, and resilient during very difficult times in their life.
Trauma Informed Care
By shifting the focus from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” acknowledges that it is extremely important to have a complete picture of what a clients life situation (past and present) in order to provide effective therapy services with a healing direction.
