As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I'm dedicated to serving women who often feel overwhelmed by life's demands. Currently, I'm pursuing a doctoral degree in clinical social work, which deepens my expertise and commitment to helping my clients. My work primarily focuses on women who carry the weight of the world on their shoulders—those who need guidance to navigate through unresolved trauma, require support in overcoming personal challenges, or simply seek a compassionate ear. I aim to provide a collaborative therapeutic environment where each client's unique journey is respected and valued. My approach helps empower women to recognize their strengths, heal from their past, and embrace a future filled with hope and resilience. The impact of this work is reflected in the profound changes I witness in my clients, as they move from feeling burdened and stuck to experiencing freedom and self-efficacy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session with me, clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where they can start to share their stories at their own pace. This initial meeting is primarily about building trust and understanding. I focus on getting to know the client—their reasons for seeking therapy, their personal background, and what they hope to achieve through our sessions. Clients will be encouraged to discuss their current challenges and any specific incidents or feelings that prompted them to seek help. I will explain how our sessions will be structured and what they can expect from the therapeutic process. This includes discussing confidentiality, session frequency, and the collaborative nature of our work together. I also emphasize the importance of setting goals for therapy. We might begin to outline these goals, although they can be refined over time as we progress. The main aim is to ensure that clients leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the journey ahead. They should also have a clear understanding of how therapy can help them and a sense of comfort with me as their therapist.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a therapist include my deep empathy, my skill in creating a safe and supportive environment, and my focus on working together with my clients. I connect genuinely with clients, making it easier for them to share their feelings and experiences openly. This trust is essential for effective therapy. I also bring a wealth of knowledge from my social work practice and academic studies, allowing me to adapt my approach to meet each client's specific needs, whether they're dealing with trauma, stress, or everyday pressures. Lastly, I emphasize collaboration, encouraging clients to set their own goals and participate actively in their healing process. This helps them build their own strength and confidence, leading to lasting changes in their lives.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I serve women who are grappling with the pressures of "superwoman syndrome"—those who strive to excel in every role they play, whether as mothers, professionals, caregivers, or partners, often at the expense of their own well-being. These women typically come to me feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and sometimes unrecognized for their efforts. They may be dealing with unresolved trauma, high levels of stress, or the fear of not meeting their own or others' expectations. My therapeutic approach is especially suited for those who are looking for not just coping strategies, but also a deeper understanding and healing of their emotional wounds. By creating a supportive and empathetic space, I help them to unpack the burdens they carry, explore their identities beyond their roles, and embark on a journey towards self-compassion, empowerment, and balanced living. This process allows them to redefine their limits, set healthier boundaries, and cultivate a life that honors their needs and aspirations.
