LCSW, 4 years of experience
Hello, I'm an LCSW based in Georgia and a proud graduate of the UGA MSW program. I have extensive experience providing therapy for children, young adults, and women. I have spent the past four years specializing in trauma-informed care. I'm bilingual and highly focused on cultural competency. My approach is empathetic and client-centered, ensuring that clients feel heard and understood from the very beginning.
In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and safe environment where they can share their story and concerns. We will begin reviewing the initial assessment to understand their background, needs, and goals. This session is an opportunity to establish trust, discuss the therapeutic process, and set the foundation for our work together.
As a provider, my greatest strengths are my empathy, cultural competency, and extensive experience with trauma-informed care. I am committed to understanding and respecting the diverse backgrounds of my clients, which allows me to provide personalized and effective support. Additionally, my bilingual abilities enable me to connect with a broader range of clients, ensuring they feel comfortable and understood throughout the therapeutic process.
I am best positioned to serve women and adolescents, including young children who have experienced trauma, need help with social skills or have recently moved from other countries. I also specialize in working with women who have experienced substance abuse, are struggling to cope with mental disorders, and those who have endured childhood and adult trauma.

Strength-based therapy focuses on clients' inherent strengths and resources rather than their deficits. My experience with this approach has shown that empowering clients to recognize and build on their strengths fosters resilience and promotes positive change.I use this method to help clients identify their strengths, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that enhance their well-being and self-efficacy.
Trauma-informed therapy prioritizes creating a safe and supportive environment that acknowledges the impact of trauma on individuals. My experience with this method has demonstrated its effectiveness in fostering trust and healing by being sensitive to trauma triggers.
