LMSW-C, 3 years of experience
For the last 7 years, I have worked with adults that have struggled with anxiety, depression, and other psychosocial issues. I am a strong advocate for populations that are underserved. I really enjoy helping others find purpose and meaning, help them work on problems they would identify and have an outcome to better their self-esteem, enrich their lives, and have satisfying relationships.
Clients can expect me to listen to their needs, take time to be fully present, answer any questions, and just develop some rapport. Trust takes time and as I therapist, I understand this. I like to complete an intake session to gain as much information as possible, however it doesn't usually happen in the first session. This is the engagement session I look forward to and it's all about making the client feel welcome.
As a therapist, some of my strengths include helping clients have a voice, help them find meaning in their lives, and most importantly not tell them what to do. I like to be a strong guide for each client and their unique journey.
My ideal client could be seeking supportive therapy through the use of empathetic-reflective listening, motivational interviewing, and developing a strong support system. These clients could be having issues with anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, and even identifying as LGBTQ+.
I have been providing supportive therapy for adult clients for 7 years. This has included helping identify issues, behaviors, and coping skills in the effort to enhance well being.
