I am a Supervisee in Social Work with 1 year of experience providing individual counseling to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with children through difficulties centered around behavior and emotional awareness, and with adults seeking grief support, stress management, and help adjusting to life transitions. My goal is to empower individuals to develop autonomy and self-reliance via an environment that provides safety and security. I offer active listening, reflection, and interactive feedback to my clients.
I received my Master of Social Work from Walden University. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness techniques. I make the therapeutic environment fun for children by incorporating games and offer a calm, relaxed, and open environment for adults.
I am a warm, vibrant, and understanding therapist, willing and eager to assist clients through the triumphs and difficulties of daily life. I will help you break down goals into manageable steps and support you every step of the way. Reach out to me today!
