I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been working with women, parents, and caregivers for the past fifteen years in a variety of settings. My goal has always been to support and validate clients by meeting them where they are at on their journey. i help each client build awareness into their triggers and patterns of behavior in order to improve coping and reduce stress.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, we will get to know each other, review intake paperwork, complete initial assessment, and set goals if you wish to move forward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have a calm and patient approach. I am always willing to listen without judgment.
