Licensed Master Social Worker
Change is something that can be challenging, but I commend you for taking the first step toward it by reviewing this profile. I am passionate about helping people achieve their fullest potential, and for them to live healthy, happy, and safe lives. I want to help people overcome and or manage the problems that are brought on by mental illness. As your therapist, I will meet you where you are in life. I want clients to feel comfortable in a non-judgmental environment.
I work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, difficulties with work-life balance, trauma, and life transitions.
Treatment interventions are based off the client's needs. The techniques I use are stress management strategies, strength-based approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), mindfulness practices, self-compassion practices, structured problem solving, and communication strategies
Let us explore and take this journey to improving your mental well-being together
