Hello! I am an LCSW with over 30 years of experience working with adults, children and families in crisis programs, community based programs, inpatient, outpatient, and intensive outpatient mental health treatment. My goal is to help my clients attain more peace as they navigate the challenges of life. My experience is that most people know how they can improve their mood/meet their goals, but need someone to help shine a light on the path forward.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we’ll begin with brief introductions, and then begin the work of identifying issues and possible solutions. I believe it is an honor here personal story, and I will be sensitive to the time it takes to build trust. But I also understand that clients are coming to therapy to help create a path forward, and the first session will provide next steps.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
In addition to a full “toolbox” of assessment and intervention tools, I have a warm and engaging style and sometimes use humor. I am collaborative, wishing to connect and create solutions together.
