Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-R with many years of experience in psychotherapy, substance use counseling, domestic violence, medication adherence, HIV counseling, and couples counseling. I enjoy my chosen career path in social work because we are trained to address patient's needs holistically. I believe in client-centered treatment because everyone is perfectly imperfect and needs to be heard and allow to grow.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session - the getting to know you/me assessment/or Intake, rules of engagement, address your/my expectations will be done. A timeline established, expected end date/or extension will be discussed.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked in many clinical and non-clinical areas for 20+ yrs. which has given me a scope of knowledge and skills that is vast but also keeps me humble. I am a good listener not just with my ears but with empathy and compassion.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with young adults and adults, however, I am comfortable with all populations. Short-term therapy would be the most suitable. Three months to a year/or as long as is required for the client to get to where they need to be .
