I have been working in the clinical environment since 2006. I have an MSW (Master's Degree in Social Work) with a clinical mental health emphasis. I am also a Certified Clinical Telemental health provider (CTMH). I enjoy working alongside clients in the pursuit of their goals. Quality of life matters! I respect and honor the determination, intentionality, and sometimes bravery this pursuit of goals can take. Goals, opportunities, concerns, and problems come in all shapes and sizes. My approach to therapeutic modalities needs to be shaped around what seems reasonable and most appropriate for the individual. I strive to bring an experienced and flexible approach in supporting clients. I often see the value in a solution-focused approach to life's opportunities and or challenges. I also recognize the value outcomes in CBT, identifying thought distortions and the power of thought. At the conclusion of each session, I like to construct with the client a goal or homework assignment. Clients will often report they appreciate having a practical takeaway from sessions and something concrete to work on. I will often revisit how helpful this was at the beginning of the following session in determining with the client if this is a goal that should be continued, modified, or changed. I strive to create an encouraging and positive environment built on trust and understanding.
