As a Clinical Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW-C) and Certified Crisis Specialist with extensive experience in crisis intervention and mental health support, I am committed to delivering compassionate and effective care. My career has been marked by a focus on responding to community crises, where I engage in pre-screening, assessments, and direct intervention for individuals in distress. Collaborating closely with local law enforcement has enhanced my ability to assess on-scene situations, develop safety plans, and implement crisis prevention strategies, providing comprehensive support to individuals and families in need.
I utilize a holistic and client-centered approach to therapy, tailoring my services to meet the unique needs of each individual. Here are some of the modalities I incorporate:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This evidence-based approach focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors to improve emotional well-being.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: By integrating mindfulness techniques, I help clients develop greater awareness of their thoughts and feelings, fostering a sense of peace and presence.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): This modality emphasizes understanding and expressing emotions, promoting emotional healing and healthier relationships.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): I encourage clients to envision their desired future and identify steps to achieve their goals, emphasizing strengths and resources.
Trauma-Informed Care: Recognizing the impact of trauma, I create a safe and supportive environment that respects each client's experiences while promoting healing and resilience.
My goal is to empower you on your journey toward personal growth and healing. If you're interested in learning more about any specific modality or service, feel free to reach out!
