LCSW, 6 years of experience
I am a licensed clinical social worker who believes in respect, compassion, and sensitivity. You are taking a huge step in this journey of life by deciding to reach out for support or guidance. My passion to create a safe and supportive environment for your healing journey. The goal is to listen, assist, work together, while holding a space for you without judgement.
In the first therapy session, clients can expect a warm and open conversation. I’ll focus on building rapport and creating a safe, non-judgmental space to discuss concerns. We’ll explore their background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. Clients are encouraged to ask questions and express any concerns they may have, as this collaborative process is essential for building a strong therapeutic relationship. By the end of the session, they should feel heard, understood, and hopeful about the path ahead.
I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful change. My goal is to create a supportive, trusting space where you feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll explore the underlying causes of your challenges, build on your strengths, and create a clear path toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
My goal is to provide tailored support that meets client's needs, empowering them to achieve their personal goals. I serve a diverse range of clients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, family concerns, life transitions, and difficulty with relationships. I have experience working with adolescence and adults.
With CBT, this approach is a collaborative method that goes at the client's pace (readiness and comfort). It focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. It is very structured but handled with warmth and empathy.
With ACT, it is an open structure that focuses on allowing uncomfortable thoughts/feelings without trying to avoid or control them. The goal is to accept, connect values, and take intentional action.
Grief therapy truly goes at the client's pace while addressing the stages of grief with compassion.
We will use a gentle client-centered approach to explore and resolve uncertainty about change.
