I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida and obtain Board of Oncology Social Work Certification. I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Social Work in 2017 from the University of South Florida. I have experience working with individuals and their families affected by a life altering diagnosis and understanding the complex issues raised by anxiety, grief/bereavement, medical crisis, and depression. Additionally, I have experience working with the young adult population facing worry, fear of the unknown, and serious illness. It is imperative to have an individual to turn towards who recognizes the unique challenges affecting career goals, life priorities, or dating. My approach in therapy is collaborative, structured, and uniquely focused on you. I incorporate aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into my practice by identifying unhealthy thinking patterns and assisting you in reframing those thoughts. I utilize solution focused therapy as I concentrate on identifying concerns and obtaining manageable solutions to allow more effective coping. I integrate systems theory to provide the opportunity for you to discuss and understand how your emotional challenges affect your life and the surrounding systems. Wherever your concern may be, I want you to feel welcome in my office throughout our therapeutic relationship and will strive to create a safe space filled with empathy. We will collaborate on goals and work toward achieving reduction in anxiety, distress, grief, and depression. I'm here to find a way to work with you that suits your individual needs.
