Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my Doctor of Social Work from Simmons University in Advanced Clinical Practice, and my Master's of Social Work from the University of Tennessee. I have years of experience working with families, communities, and the aging population that have struggled with a wide range of issues such as Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Bipolar, Personality Disorder, and Schizophrenia.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will get to know one another (relationship building), go over the reasons that you decided to start therapy and work together to come up with an effective treatment plan.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Interpersonal skills are one of my greatest and most important quality “therapeutic rapport.” Having the ability to develop strong relationships with my clients is critical for their ability to respond and heal. Having years of experience of active listening has enhanced my abilities to understand my clients effectively, which has helped them heal more effectively by being heard and respected throughout the therapeutic process.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I specialize in working with women, men, adolescents, children, and the aging population who are experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, and negative self-image. I work with clients to help them discover their true selves, underneath the expectations they have placed on themselves or feel pressure from others. I will meet you where you are in your journey and will facilitate the changes to help you be a happier and healthier version of yourself.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
How is CBT used in treatment? CBT emphasizes helping individuals learn to be their therapists. Through exercises in the session and “homework” exercises outside of sessions, patients/clients are helped to develop coping skills, whereby they can learn to change their own thinking, problematic emotions, and behavior.
Compassion Focused
The three main measures of compassion—discerning the client's suffering, empathizing with the client's pain, and taking action to relieve the client's suffering—and the cognitive, emotional, and applicable components of compassion.
Humanistic
Humanistic therapy is an approach to mental health that uses a strong relationship between the client and therapist to allow people to explore and reach their fullest potential. It’s useful for anyone who is feeling frustrated or stuck in anxiety, depression, or general life difficulties. That said, it isn’t focused on developing tools to fix problems, and the length of therapy depends on your own unique needs and goals.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is a standard part of treatment for nearly every type of mental health disorder and is considered a form of basic psychotherapeutic intervention for patients. It can also be used to educate family members during family therapy, teams in a workplace, or individuals with severe mental health conditions about mental health
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is a counseling method that involves enhancing a patient's motivation to change by means of four guiding principles, represented by the acronym RULE: Resist the righting reflex; Understand the patient's own motivations; Listen with empathy; and Empower the patient.
