A little bit about me: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW,) Perinatal Mental Health Counselor (PMH-C,) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) with over 20 years of clinical experience. In assisting my clients, I take an integrative approach in using various therapeutic principles to aid my work. Simply put, I will help you identify and utilize your strengths, so that we can work through your struggles.
First session
In our first session, we will review what brings you into therapy and what you hope to achieve throughout your therapeutic journey. We will discuss boundaries, limitations, and safety precautions. Finally, we will set some realistic goals and identify means to achieving them.
Strengths
With over 20 years of clinical experience in outpatient, IOP/PHP, residential, and inpatient behavioral health services, I have learned that the most important thing in treating a client, is that no two clients are the same. I don't operate on a cookie-cutter approach to treatment but rather really look to identify your individual needs / strengths and tailor treatment accordingly. I accept you for who you are and help empower you to heal and grow into who you want to be.
Ideal clients
My practice motto is: Women empowering women to heal and grow. I specialize in treating women's mental health conditions within the framework of the female experience, helping you achieve harmony and peace in alignment with your beliefs and values. Some focus areas include: Anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, perinatal / postpartum, and self-esteem.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
As no two person's struggles are the exact same, I firmly believe the treatment modality offered should be individualized to that person's needs. As such, I tailor the treatment method accordingly. Treatment modalities include, but not are limited to: CBT, DBT, ERP, Grief Therapy, Mindfulness-Based, Strength based, Trauma Informed Care.
