ChatGPT said: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s of Science degree in Clinical Social Work from Florida State University. With 15 years of experience, I have worked in a variety of settings, including residential, outpatient, medical, and school environments. I have been married for nearly 14 years, have six children, and manage multiple aspects of life, which provides me with a unique perspective on different life stages.
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and build rapport. I’ll gather more information and explore what has led you to seek therapy. This will help us establish clear therapy goals and guide your journey toward healing and moving forward. We’ll discuss triggers, coping skills, warning signs, and practical solutions to help you make progress in your life.
Having worked with individuals ranging from ages 5 to 99, I’ve come to understand that everyone is unique. However, identifying the root causes of negative thoughts, behaviors, and patterns has helped those I serve find a clear path forward. I collaborate with clients to adjust their perspectives, enabling them to reach a place where they can breathe freely and see life more clearly again.
I have assisted individuals with depression and anxiety in uncovering the underlying causes of their feelings and developing new coping strategies. I also help clients navigate career challenges and explore new passions. My specialties include parenting, life transitions, stress management, conflict resolution, communication difficulties, and adjustment disorders.
I have used this as the basis of treatment since starting 13 year ago to help identify thoughts and patterns that may have one stuck. This method helps clients to identity the unhealthy thoughts leading to their current emotional state, and the behaviors that coincide.
I utilize this practice for clients struggling with mood disorders, as well as struggling with current relationships.
Narrative therapy helps by allowing individuals to reframe and reshape the stories they tell about themselves and their experiences. It focuses on the idea that we all interpret and make sense of our lives through stories, and sometimes these stories can become limiting or problematic. By exploring and re-authoring these narratives, individuals can gain new perspectives, find meaning, and reclaim a sense of agency and control over their lives.
I utilize this as a tools to help individuals feeling stuck, and needing to work through solutions to move forward in life!
Clients often underestimate their strengths when facing life’s challenges. I use this as an opportunity to help build their resilience, guiding them in navigating solutions and gaining clarity in difficult situations.
