About
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with a variety of mental health, behavioral issues, and trauma. I am also a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor and am extremely passionate about helping adolescents and adults suffering from substance use disorders achieve freedom and recovery from their substance use. I am equally passionate about assisting family members struggling with maladaptive behaviors stemming from substance use disorders, such as codependency. I utilize evidenced-based practices and therapeutic techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength based approaches to assist and empower clients in achieving their goals My biggest strength as a therapist is my empathetic nature and I believe in the power of empathy as described by Brene Brown, Ph.D., LMSW: "I'm in it with you, I'm not here to fix you, I'm not here to feel it for you, I'm here to feel with you and let you know you're not alone". I look forward to working with you towards growth and healing
