About me
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Most importantly, you are taking the right steps toward a happier and healthier you. Finding a therapist can lead to feelings of uncertainty which is perfectly okay. I want you to find the therapist that is right for you. My hope is that the following paragraphs will describe my education, experience, and therapeutic style sufficiently enough to aide you in your decision.
Education
I obtained my master’s in social work from the University of South Florida in 2008. I then relocated to Hammond, Louisiana where I proceeded to obtain a License in Clinical Social Work (LCSW). An LCSW shows that I have the education and experience to provide individual, family, and group psychotherapy to the community. After that, I relocated to Alabama where I obtained a Private Independent Practice License (PIP), which allows me to provide psychotherapy services through my private practice. Finally, I recently obtained an E-therapy Certificate to show that I am competent to provide psychotherapy via video, chat, and telephone.
Experience
I have over 12 years’ experience providing clinical social work services to the community. I provided psychotherapy to individuals in a variety of settings including in the home, in an office, in partial hospitalization, and in the hospital. Further, I have experience treating adults from 18 years old to 108 years old. My experience includes helping people who feel devastatingly lonely, sadness, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, bullying, anger, difficulty coping with life transitions, and challenges socially. Additionally, I specialize in working with adults who experience medical illnesses which have impacted their emotional wellbeing.
Therapeutic Style
I believe that each person and situation is unique and special, so I strive to understand the client and all the types of stresses that are involved. I pull from modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Psychotherapy which are somewhat structured. However, I have had much success using those techniques with clientele. I work from a creative and open-minded style that is comfortable for my clients.
Your journey is precious, and I hope the best for you. Please feel free to call upon me if I may be of assistance.P
