LCSW, 35 years of experience
Listen. People start to heal the moment they feel heard. ~ Cheryl Richardson I have practiced in this field for over 35 years helping clients from all walks of life. I have worked with those dealing with depression and anxiety, grief, low self esteem, addiction, personality disorders, ptsd and trauma. Experienced and seasoned, I utilize a strength based collaborative approach to help you understand, explore and address any concerns and challenges. I start by listening, truly listening to you as you feel comfortable sharing your experiences, thoughts, feelings and the truth of being you. As you feel more comfortable, you may begin to let us both into your world, to explore and embody your true self. There is a voice that doesn’t use words — Rumi
Therapy can be a very personal experience. I believe it is important for you to feel safe and comfortable. I provide that safe space where you can feel heard, understood and empowered.
I use whatever tools will serve you best in each moment. These might include the following methods: Psychodynamic, CBT, Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing and Humanistic. If you have questions about these tools and methods, and which might feel most convenient for you, we can explore these and others.
My specialties include working with those who are healing from trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, and grief. I also have a significant amount of experience working with and helping to heal personality disorders.
