What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As an LCSW, I provide an emotionally safe and non-judgement space where you can open up and talk about your symptoms and concerns. In the first session, we will process together what the best treatment modality is and set realistic goals for treatment.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Aging and Geriatric Issues, Blended Family Issues, Chronic Pain Illness and Disability, Codependency, Commitment Issues, Communication Problems, Divorce and Separation, Family Problems, Isolation/Loneliness, Military and Veterans Issues, Mood Disorders, Narcissism, Obsessions, Compulsions, and OCD, Postpartum Depression, Post-traumatic Stress, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Self-Harm, Sexual Assault and Abuse, Family conflict, and Social Anxiety.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
As an LCSW, my dream clients are people that are truly invested in treatment. They are willing to do the work and come to session to process their concerns and symptoms. Clients that take recommended interventions or homework outside of session and implement into their life.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT has been a treatment method I have used for years to work on the identification of negative thoughts and beliefs that lead to depression and anxiety. In session, the focus is to reframe thoughts to improve symptoms. I also work with clients on assertive communication and boundary setting that is also essential in improving symptoms.
Couples Counseling
As an LCSW, I have provided couples counseling for many years. Depending on the concerns in the marriage many topics can be processed and worked though. For example, communication concerns, boundary setting in couples, intimacy concerns, and any other issue that may arise. The focus on the sessions is to identify concerns in the marriage and work together to set goals and homework for the couple to work on outside of session to improve the relationship.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
CPT is a 12 session trauma focused treatment to work on concerns with PTSD. This treatment is homework based.
Strength-Based
As an LCSW, I believe in working with others in identifying their strengths to improve symptoms and behaviors.
Supportive
As an LCSW, I also provide supportive therapy to work on reflection of feelings, validation, and active listening to assist clients in feeling heard.
