Hello! I'm Carmen, an Independent Licensed Social Worker.
My ideal client has a sense of humor, flexibility and a willingness to change. While starting therapy can be daunting, with the right therapist, counseling can be so beneficial. Good job taking those first steps in finding the right fit for you. Whether it's work life balance, relationships, boundaries, anxiety, grief or trauma, life comes with hardships. Together we can build strategies to meet your goals.
I use a person-centered approach, so we work as a team and start where you want to.
I have been practicing for nearly twenty years. I have experience with adults, teens, families and children, in the general population and those with trauma or severe mental illness. I engage in a strength based, person centered approach, incorporating problem solving and mindfulness strategies, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), and play therapy.
The relationship between you and your therapist is crucial in making progress. If you think we could make a good team, feel free to reach out. I am here to start this journey with you whenever you are ready, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
