LCSW, 5 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from the University of South Florida. I have been practicing for 5 years. I have worked in a number of settings and population. From client with psychosis to challenges with managing life events. As young as 6 years old to mid 60s. I assist clients with their human experience and how to better become the best versions of themselves.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, getting to paint the canvas that is your life and leaning into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with clients in the past, we have been able to identify the root cause of their challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I love working with young professionals who are in the first few years of their careers. I enjoy working with adolescents how are look to find and create themselves. I also lile working with couples to assistance them on their communication and understanding of each other. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about life challenges.
Why ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy)? Do you know that our experiences mold who we are and how we present in this world. When those experiences involved, grief, disappointment, illness, anxiety it makes our living experience and journey, even more challenging. The premise of ACT is that these experiences are inevitable features of human life. How can we manage? By productively adapting to these types of challenges. How we even do that you ask? The way to through. We need to develop greater psychological flexibility rather than engaging in counterproductive attempts to eliminate or suppress undesirable experiences. Through our mindset. Act therapy is a mindfulness therapy composed of six key concepts that helps us move from the negative perspective, accept the changes of life and makes us move towards living a meaningful life according to our own values.
Cognitive behavioral therapy better known as CBT may be one of the most used therapy methods. I think it’s mostly used and successful due to its structured and goal-oriented approach. I usually say, sing almost, thoughts -> feelings -> behavior. CBT identifies negative thoughts and behaviors and changes them. This therapy is more directive. If you list, you are going to love this model. If you don’t, we will learn to love it together. There is also a lot of education around understanding CBT, how to go about coming aware of the cognitive distortions that we experience.
