LCSW, 12 years of experience
Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing for 7 years. I graduated with my master’s in social work 15 years ago and have a wealth of experience working with clients that are battling with depression and anxiety. I’ve dedicated my career to helping people from all walks of life overcome their mental health impairments. I have a fervent passion for seeing my clients succeed in life by virtue of gaining self awareness and learning healthy coping skills.
In our first session we will share some personal information that will help create a therapeutic alliance with the main goal of engendering trust. The goal is for you to feel comfortable telling me what you’re trying to accomplish in your life through therapy. I’m here to help you feel better about yourself and current circumstances.
My greatest strength is developing a rapport with my clients through a unconditional positive regard for them, and a sincere interest in earning their trust. Having trust in your therapist is the foundation to resolving issues and gaining the coping skills required to face daily challenges with confidence and true conviction. I’m here to help.
I love working with clients that are interested in learning healthy coping skills to reduce their anxiety and depression. I understand that the journey of self development and creating self awareness can be difficult, but I’m confident that I can help improve your coping skills and overall happiness. The goal is to help clients gain an intimate understanding of their thoughts/feelings, so they can manage them in a positive manner in an effort to overcome daily challenges with confidence and resilience.
The CBT modality provides all clients with an intimate understanding of the cognitive triangle, which teaches them how their thoughts, feelings and actions impact daily functioning. By gaining knowledge of your thought processes, you will have more self awareness and cope in a more healthy manner with the daily stressors of life. The goal is to address cognitive distortions and irrational thoughts/behaviors.
Many times clients can lose their faith when encountering difficult times, but the key to faith based therapy is understanding that God uses difficult lessons to help us grow as human beings and fulfill our greater purpose. The first step in healing is learning to forgive yourself for your shortcomings. Learn to give yourself some grace, so you can become the person that your were destined to be. Master the art of turning your pain into purpose through faith.
This modality will help clients understand how their childhood experiences can shape their relationships as adults. Many of the childhood experiences that were a part of their learning stems from how they interacted with their mother or father. These experiences can have a deep impact on them as adults if they don’t gain the self awareness to understand how these unconscious thoughts/feelings translated into certain behaviors that are having a negative affect on daily functioning both in the personal and professional realms of daily life.
This strength based perspective incorporates how being grateful can improve your overall mood and functioning on a daily basis. By focusing on a clients strengths and virtues as a foundation to challenge the psychosocial stressors in interpersonal relationships, achieving daily goals or improving overall mood. The goal is to master the ability to implement cognitive restructuring and reframing by virtue of positive thinking; in order to create hope and resilience in your daily life. Positive psychology can transform your life and help reduce anxiety and depression.

Use plan sounds great but a more realistic goal would be on going sessions throughout the year plus maintaining a healthy life style. Controlling my blood sugar levels. Life long treatment & positive thoughts.
