I am a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 8 years of experience in helping children, individuals and families navigate life's challenges. My practice is rooted in the belief that every person has the capacity for growth and healing, and I am here to provide a supportive and compassionate environment for that journey. My goal is to empower individuals by providing tools and strategies that foster resilience, self-confidence, and healthy relationships.
In our first session together, we will start with introductions and go over any expectations or questions you may have. Then we will dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Throughout my career I have developed strong skillsets in empathy, adaptability, and communication skills to enhance the therapeutic alliance between therapist and client. I practice active listening and empathy to understand each clients' emotions and experiences, which helps build trust and rapport.
In my practice, I focus on a wide range of issues affecting individuals; including behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, life coaching, and self-esteem.
I believe in a holistic approach to encourage clients to change and adapt their thoughts and behaviors to achieve their values and goals.
I utilize ACT in my practice to help client's understand and accept their thoughts and feelings.
Mindfulness is implemented throughout sessions with clients to encourage being present in the moment, increase awareness, and develop coping skills to improve emotional regulation.
