What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

A typical session with me is tailored to your unique needs. We begin by discussing your current challenges and goals. Then, we may employ various therapeutic modalities, including pharmacotherapy (medications) to explore and address your concerns. The session focuses on uncovering your strengths, fostering personal growth, and empowering you to create a fulfilling life. Throughout, it's a collaborative journey where we work together to support positive changes and self-discovery.

Since 2004, I have worked extensively in various inpatient acute care environments in Medical as well as Behavioral Psychiatric Inpatient Units covering Adolescents, Acute Adults, Geriatric Med-Psych, and Psychiatric Intensive Care centered on the significantly impacted, underserved population. Through the years, I have cultivated an exquisite skill set and profound philosophy centered on providing compassionate and empathetic care to a diverse pool of patients grappling with various psychiatric and dual diagnoses, and behavioral health challenges. My passion to help individuals identify the incapacitating beliefs that are hindering them back in life and resolve how to move past them has been influential in forging a path towards an increased sense of power, mastery and triumph. I welcome you.

In a typical session we will catch up on what has happened between sessions, however, we are not going to just chitchat. We are also there to work on issues, so we are going to tackle the things in your life that you are struggling with as well.

Do you look in the mirror and not like the person you see looking back at you? Do you struggle with depression and anxiety? Do you often experience feelings of despair, sadness, hopelessness, low motivation, and little self-worth? I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger management, trauma, stress, grief, and more. I utilize various treatment methods to empower my clients to improve their lives and start living instead of just existing. If you are suffering from mental health or substance abuse issues, let me help.

The typical session with me would be a 50-minute session where I focus specifically on you and your issues.  We will talk about various ways of accomplishing goals for you with a treatment plan we devise together.

Sessions are by phone or video and completely confidential. Sessions are typically 50 minutes long and provide time to address areas of concern most pressing to the client so that help can be received as efficiently as possible.

I am eager to work with you to focus on your unique needs, goals, and resources. I have extensive experience working a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity and adjustment concerns. I will work with with you directly to determine the best recommendations and options for you including community resources and referrals if appropriate. Everyone deserves to feel heard and supported and you are no exception.

Therapy sessions with me are collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs. In our time together, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood.

Whether we are exploring past experiences, addressing current challenges, or building strategies for the future, my goal is to create a space where you feel empowered, valued, and in control of your mental health journey.

A typical session with me can be broken up into three parts. A check-in, processing of emotions along with teaching a coping skill, and then a summary/review of the session.

I believe therapy is a collaboration. I want to empower my clients and advocate for them throughout the therapeutic process. At the end of the day, I feel that each person is the expert on their own self, and at different seasons in our lives, we all need extra support and validation. I utilize an integrative style of therapy, meaning, I pull from many different schools of thought! Primarily, I use a Psychodynamic approach that is trauma-informed. I also utilize Reality Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. I invite you to reach out to me to schedule a free and casual introduction via phone to see if you believe I would be a good fit as your therapist. I thank you for your interest and I am looking forward to meeting you.

Each session begins with a check-in to see how you're doing emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. Then we move into reviewing our previous session and establish goals for the current session. At the conclusion of the session, we review the progress we've made and how we might be able to apply insights into your life in preparation for the days ahead.

1) We begin with an assessment over our first 1-2 sessions, whose purpose is to identify the presenting problem(s) and any relevant history that may have affected them. It is during this time frame that a full bio-psychosocial evaluation will be conducted on an as-needed basis. 2) Once the assessment is complete, we develop an informal treatment plan to determine our goals for subsequent sessions. Typically we develop 1-3 realistic, time-bound goals for the coming weeks or months. 3) During the treatment phase of therapy, goals are addressed in steps through various modalities at your desired pace. 4)  Over time, we conduct a reassessment to determine if services need to continue, increase, or decrease frequency, or if we need to change the approach altogether. A typical patient experience lasts 3-6 months, reassessing as needed, as patients make their journey toward a more independent, functioning, stable life. However, it is also common to return months or years down the road if a trigger resurfaces. Above all, my services are holistic and solution focused, utilizing CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) techniques while gently guiding and challenging patients to make progress in their lives with regular check-ins to ensure a satisfactory therapy experience.

I am a personable, dedicated, and genuine Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 combined years of experience as a social worker. My belief is that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. In every work environment that I have worked from schools, to governmental agencies, to psychiatric hospital settings, to private practice, I make a conscience effort to show not only compassion and warmth, but also a respect and genuine rapport with my clientele. Throughout the years, I have learned that it is not enough to simply treat people the way that you would want to be treated, but to treat them the way that they want to be treated as well.

An initial visit with a provider involves a medical history review, physical examination, and possibly diagnostic tests to evaluate a patient's health, identify issues, and develop a treatment plan.

I treat various patients, including ages 5 and up, and all socioeconomic ranges. I aim to provide my patients with whatever they need through our outpatient programs. I embrace a holistic approach to the care I provide to my patients.
