Children, Adolescents and Young Adults
Social Worker
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)
The LICSW works with clients in a mental health context and makes use of the Social Work brand of tools and skill sets to help clients to overcome struggles they may face in relationships, emotional regulation and specific behaviors. The LICSW uses a strength based approach to help their clients get to the bottom of what is causing their repeated patterns and limiting beliefs. By working to free clients of self-imposed barriers to success, the LICSW encourages, teaches, helps their clients build skills toward self-sufficiency and self-confidence. Some Licensed Independent Clinical Social Workers will choose to refine their talents further by working with specific groups such as adolescents or the elderly.
About Me
I am dedicated to helping adolescents and young adults manage the expectations of academics, work, athletics, friendships, social media and emotional challenges - like anxiety and depression.
I see therapy as a safe space to explore self identity - clarifying beliefs, values and how you want to show up in the world.
I offer a warm, collaborative space to explore what matters most to you, strengthen self-trust and develop skills to manage challenges that can hinder progress toward personal acceptance.My Specialties
ANXIETY
Anxiety is normal. It’s a function that we all have. However, it can be overwhelming at times and prevent you from living your life.
DEPRESSION
It’s okay to feel sad, that’s normal. Although depression can feel like a weight that prevents you from accomplishing daily tasks, it can go on for a while before that weight is lifted. Depression on a surface level is a persistent depressed mood or loss of interest in activities that you typically enjoy.
ADHD
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is a chronic condition. Those with ADHD are typically more impulsive and have limited attention. However, these symptoms can be managed with medication and talk therapy.
POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition where an individual is recovering from a terrifying event. People can experience nightmares or unwanted memories of the event. However, symptoms can be managed with trauma-focused psychotherapy and medication.
