As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I will work with clients, as their partner in helping them to identify areas in their life that they would like to improve. I will assist with setting goals that are Measurable, achievable, positive and specific so they may benefit not only from reaching their goals but also the goal setting process. I enjoy helping clients to work through their identified issues using a variety of evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness. I believe that clients achieve results best when they are the primary focus and are able to tell their stories in their own way. I strive to provide culturally competent care and to meet clients where they are. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my background in various settings has helped me to develop skills to assess a variety of populations including those with cancer, diabetes and end stage renal disease but also those with depression and anxiety. I enjoy teaching techniques that can be used to manage daily stressors including mindful, deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation among others.
