LCSW, 20 years of experience
Providing therapy, being a listener and helping others in essence found me. I did not initially plan to become a therapist but I am so happy and proud I did. I receive joy from being able to find the right words and work through the issue with my client. Therapy is a very important tool, whether it is intensive treatment or being a supportive ear. I have worked in the helping field for over 20 years. Beginning my career with developmentally delayed, then preventive services, foster care, Autism spectrum and currently providing child and adult psychiatric services. I enjoy the reward of helping! I am licensed to provide treat in New York and Georgia.
During our first session I will collect background history, family history and current needs. We will discuss treatment approach and next steps.
My biggest strength is my ability to actively listen and guide my clients in improving their own insight. I believe when we are aware we can learn new life skills and actively make the changes to improve how we think about and respond to stressors.
I enjoy working with clients who are eager to improve but may not have the tools to improve without assistance. Clients with mild to moderate mental health symptoms.
I have several years of experience using CBT , Ami hat other treatment methods to help my clients replace unwanted behavioral responses . Additionally am treatment modalities include motivational interviewing , supportive treatment , strength based and psychoeducation
