I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working in the field of Social Work and Mental Health for 21 years. I have experience working with individuals, families with diverse backgrounds. My expertise working with geriatrics, adults and adolescent populations has allowed me to specialize in depression, bereavement, couples issues, parenting and other behavior issues.
I hope that I can provide a space that nurtures relationships in a collaborative approach, as you are the specialist in your life but I am here to also help you achieve the goals in which we develop for you to gain the skills to proceed with living a life filled with balanced thoughts.
I enjoy collaborating with clients and helping them find solutions to their situations and relationships. My therapeutic approach is holistic and trusting.
I educate individuals about mental health and coping strategies and ways to manage emotions.
I integrate Christian faith into the counseling process when necessary. It involves using Biblical values and beliefs and support of individuals in addressing spiritual concerns.
I use motivational interviewing to help individuals resolve ambivalence and find the motivation to make positive changes in their lives .
