LCSW, 16 years of experience
Do you feel like you cannot prioritize yourself and have a hard time saying no to others? Do you want to make a career change but are scared of the unknown? Do you feel like you have lost yourself in people pleasing and have an overwhelming amount of anxiety / guilt? Are you kind to everyone but yourself? You may feel alone like no one could ever understand but I can. I can help you manage the anxiety and depression that is blocking you from finding your authentic self and step into the life you deserve. You deserve to feel the freedom that comes when you leave the fears behind you and accept yourself for who you really are. I provide compassion and empathy and I am passionate about collaborating with my clients to help navigate through necessary barriers to empower you to take charge of your life. If you are at the crossroads with a relationship, life transitions, or are trying to find the courage to step out in life as the real you, I am the therapist for you. I truly understand how hard change is through the journey of life. With my clinical experience, I am here to help you see that the sun shines bright every day, even through a storm. You have what it takes to create the change you are looking for and I am here to support you in that walk. I would love to partner together in the next steps in your journey. Please schedule a Free Consult first prior to having an Intake Session. I am currently working with clients over the age of 23 that reside in FL and NC. Office hours: Mon thru Thus 10 AM - 3 PM EST. Evening sessions are limited and available at this time.
I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety & codependency related to their relationships or other areas. During our initial sessions, we will discuss what the issues at hand are and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter
My approach in therapy draws influence from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I like to use several different techniques during therapy such as cognitive restructuring / reframing, relaxation / deep breathing exercises, psycho-education, exploration of emotions and relationship patterns and exploration of coping patterns.
My biggest strength in working with clients is being able to provide a non judgmental safe environment to explore emotions. Additionally, working with issues of codependency, people pleasing, and perfectionism is my passion as I truly love to help others find their way back to loving themselves, being able to set healthy boundaries in all relationships, and find true acceptance of themselves.
I like to work with female clients over the age of 23 that have anxiety issues mainly attributed due to perfectionism, codependency, and people pleasing behavior. I also have a lot of experience with clients who have themselves medical issues or family members with medical issues and that ensue anxiety / depression.
