About me
I am a compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to empowering individuals on their journey to recovery and mental well-being through a personalized, strengths-based approach.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience, I am deeply committed to advocacy and empowering my clients to embrace their autonomy. I believe that every individual has the right to make informed choices about their own lives, and my role is to support you on that journey.
In my work with clients of all ages, particularly in the areas of substance abuse and mental health, I focus on fostering an environment where you feel respected and heard. My counseling style is warm and interactive, prioritizing sensitivity and compassion.
I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs, including:
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To help identify and change negative thought patterns.
• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT): To promote awareness and acceptance of thoughts and feelings.
• Motivational Interviewing: To enhance your motivation and commitment to change.
• Person-Centered Therapy: To create a supportive, empathetic space for exploration.
• Strength-Based Approach: To identify and leverage your inherent strengths in the healing process.
• Trauma-Focused Therapy: To address and heal from past traumas.
• Clinical Supervision and Licensed Supervisors: To ensure ongoing professional development and effective practice.
Seeking support takes immense courage, and I applaud you for taking this significant step. If you are ready to continue your path of healing and self-discovery, I am here to support and encourage you every step of the way. Together, we can navigate the complexities of your journey and celebrate your growth.
