About My Clients
If you are struggling with alcoholism/addiction, depression or anxiety, I can help you. As a recovering alcoholic/addict who has struggled with depression and anxiety, I will meet you where you are. You will talk and I will listen. Together, we will develop a treatment plan for you. You will decide what we work towards. This is all about helping you achive the life you want and deserve.
My Background and Approach
I use a holistic approach and a strengths based perspective along with short term, solution focused therapy and CBT. I offer a non biased and non judgmental climate and I will listen to you. I want to help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be. Together we can work to bring you to a place of peace and contentment. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my goal is to help my clients help themselves. I meet my clients where they are and help them discover their strengths and abilities. My goal is to empower my clients, help them learn their self worth, and learn to love themselves. I use short term solution focused therapy to help my clients determine goals. If my client is depressed or anxious, we determine what the goals are, as we work through those issues. I also use CBT to help teach clients to change negative thought patterns to positive ones.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. As a person who has struggled with depression and anxiety my entire life, I can relate to and empathize with people who are struggling. Through my own work in therapy I have worked through issues and developed healthy coping skills. After getting sober in 2005, I have found much joy in being able to understand and help people who are struggling with addiction. It is very difficult to understand the disease of addiction/alcoholism, and I feel strongly that people benefit from someone who has been in there shoes.
