LCSW, 40 years of experience
Hi, I am a LCSW with over 40 years of experience. I have worked with all age groups through the years and various human conditions. I love to hear peoples stories and help with anxiety and depression. I primarily focus on how automatic thoughts effect behavior and create our perspective on life. I also employ mindfulness techniques and motivational counseling .
On our first meeting we will go through brief introductions and begin to explore your history and go over the goals you have for your treatment.
Having been a social worker for several decades makes me keenly aware of various human problems. I was first trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 30 years ago. This technique helps people become aware of their thoughts and actions and focus on what they can control. I have also been trained in trauma and many other mental health conditions.
At this time I work primarily with adults who are feeling stuck in their situations and are feeling anxious and/or depressed. We will explore the experiences that have led to your present situation and start to employ new techniques to reach your goals.
I first studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 30 years ago. It is one of the most studied approaches with proven outcomes. I have found that getting down to the core thoughts that create our reactions and behaviors, is key to making wonderful changes.
