Hello! I am an LCSW based in Florida; although I was recently living in Australia for 21 years, where I practiced there as a licensed clinician for more than ten years. I am also an artist and musician, which I feel creativity lends well to therapy, especially with special needs and younger people. I have extensive experience across the lifespan in a range of modalities, and would love to help you take the next step in your journey of healing!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session is spent predominantly getting a better understanding of what is presenting for you, and what you'd like to work on. This is more of a 'get to know you' for both you and myself; I'm a firm believer that for therapy to be effective, you need to feel like it's a good fit with your therapist. So this is just as much as you deciding if you feel I am the right fit for you!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel I'm a very versatile therapist, with international experience; therapy is not a 'one type fits all'; I have experiencing working in many settings with a range of clients, which helps me be more culturally aware. I believe in empowering clients, that effective therapy is very much client-centered, and enjoy seeing clients reframe their narratives to feel more free in themselves and build better relationships.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I feel my strengths are helping clients gain insight, self-awareness, and better understanding the challenges they're experiencing, to then be able to identify realistic goals in their therapy journey. Often people say 'I just want to feel better,' but what does that actually mean for you? Who is responsible for helping you achieve that, by when, and how? Let's work on that.
