I am licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 9 years of experience. I earned my Master's degree in Social Work at Florida International University. I have a depth experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked with clients of many different backgrounds seeking help for a wide variety of reasons including anxiety, depression, trauma (PTSD), ADHD, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, career difficulties, parenting problems, family conflicts, and emotional regulation. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help my clients identify and challenge faulty thought patterns and develop coping strategies to help them toward wellness.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As I help clients identify the source of negative thoughts and patterns, I help you feel comfortable by providing compassion and allowing you to have a safe place to be honest about your feelings and struggles. I focus on your needs and work toward your goals by developing healthy coping skills that you can use on your daily life. I truly love what I do!

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best positioned to serve clients who are seeking compassionate and comprehensive support in navigating various mental health challenges across the lifespan. Specifically, I specialize in working with: -Adults: Individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, career difficulties, and interpersonal challenges. I offer a supportive and collaborative therapeutic space where adults can explore their concerns and develop effective coping strategies to navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity. -Adults with Trauma Histories: I have significant experience supporting individuals navigating the complexities of anxiety, depression, and PTSD/Trauma. My approach is rooted in compassion, empowerment, and evidence-based practices to facilitate healing and resilience. -Children and Teenagers: Those experiencing anxiety, difficulty focusing, problematic behaviors, and low self-esteem. I excel in creating a safe and nurturing environment where young individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered to overcome obstacles and thrive.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

With extensive experience spanning over nine years, I have witnessed the transformative impact of CBT in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD/Trauma. CBT offers a structured and collaborative approach that empowers individuals to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors, ultimately promoting healthier ways of thinking and coping. I utilize CBT techniques and strategies to tailor interventions that are uniquely suited to each individual's needs and goals. This may involve helping clients recognize and reframe distorted thinking patterns, develop effective coping skills, and implement behavioral changes to support their mental well-being.
