Therapist Overview
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have extensive experience working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, helplessness, and need additional tools to cope with daily stressors and overwhelming thoughts or feelings. In the fast-paced world we live in, we are constantly facing heightened feelings of stress that can be caused by workplace, parenting, family, couple or other relationship conflicts. Unfortunately, for many, alcohol or drugs is used to “manage” difficult times. It is my goal to help clients navigate their most complex feelings and to provide the tools and skills needed to help them thrive. I’ve built my practice with a client-focused, strengths-based, short-term solution-focused approach, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to remove the barriers that interfere with finding your “Joy in life.” When addictive behaviors are identified, I employ a Stages of Change Model along with Motivational Interviewing as an effective course of treatment.
