High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to help clients let go of negative thoughts and replace them with healthier ones, focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work with individuals navigating substance use and addictions, supported by my Drug and Alcohol certification. I also integrate my background as a Nephrology Social Worker, offering psychosocial support to those living with chronic kidney disease.
