What should a new client know about working with you?
With 20 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I have dedicated my career to supporting children, families, and trauma survivors through their most challenging times. My extensive background spans a wide range of client needs and life stages, from early childhood and family dynamics to retirement and end-of-life care. Throughout my practice, I have had the privilege of assisting individuals dealing with anxiety, loss, addiction, and trauma.
I utilize a diverse set of therapeutic modalities tailored to each client's unique needs. My expertise includes Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Family Systems Theory (FST). I approach therapy from a strengths-based perspective, integrating positive psychology and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) to empower clients and build on their inherent resilience.
In addition to traditional therapeutic approaches, I incorporate holistic practices into my work. This includes mindfulness techniques and yoga specifically designed for trauma survivors. My commitment to a wholistic perspective also extends to faith-based support, providing spiritual guidance when needed.
As an active and attentive listener, I find great joy in supporting clients through their journeys of self-discovery and personal growth. I believe in the transformative power of empathetic, nonjudgmental support and view each client as the expert in their own life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and insight to help you achieve your own standards of success and fulfillment.
I am deeply motivated to be a part of your journey, assisting you in navigating life's challenges and celebrating your progress. Whenever you are ready, I am here to help you work towards a more authentic and rewarding life. Please take care, and know that I am always here to support you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
