About Me...
"I have been practicing in the social work field since 2018 and joined the Center for Positive Change in 2020. I have a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana University South Bend. After completing my education, I became a licensed clinical social worker. I previously specialized in substance abuse for the first three years of my career, including obtaining training in medication-assisted treatment, facilitating substance abuse groups, and engaging in community research, resulting in publications with various journals. This greatly influenced the way I perceive family and community dynamics. My current focus of treatment is on adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance abuse, and I have a special interest in working with mothers. I utilize various treatment methods including, but not limited to, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness. I typically approach counseling with a trauma-informed, client-centered mindset, ensuring the individual is comfortable and prepared for the desired changes in their lives. One of the most important things in a counseling relationship is a genuine connection and willingness to be open and honest. Feedback is crucial to the process and always welcomed."
