Meaning – A quiet or placid manner may conceal a more passionate nature.
Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know there is hope for a better tomorrow.
My job is to offer skills and support as you travel along your journey, wherever it may lead. This means you are the expert, I just assist along the way. I believe in treating each person as an individual with respect, dignity, and compassion, while maintaining the highest standards for integrity and ethics.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and a member of the National Association of Social Workers. I graduated from IUPUI School of Social Work. I have worked in the field of mental health and addictions for over a decade. I work with adults, couples, and adolescents over the age of 13. I practice from the standpoint that the client is the expert, and I get the privilege of assisting in reaching the individual’s goals. I achieve this by teaching skills, educating, and partnering with the client as they process. The evidenced-based practices I use most often include Mindfulness skills, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused. I also believe it is my top priority to provide an environment that is non-judgmental, respectful and transparent. May you be blessed on your journey.
