Hi. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Pennsylvania with over 30 years of experience in working in all aspect of mental health treatment. I appreciate the opportunity to get to know those with whom I am working and focusing on the areas that are important to you. While we will work together to set goals and a treatment plan, I believe that you as the client are making the important decisions about how therapy will benefit you. I see my job as empowering you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our fist session, I will provide a brief introduction of myself and my practice style and then jump in to get a good background about you and your current situation, relating to what brings you to therapy at this time. By session end, it is my goal to have an agreed upon preliminary treatment plan for next steps.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have many years of experience and have worked in many settings providing therapy. I have experience in working in several other areas of service-related work, often at an administrative level. Despite that, during my entire career, I have always maintained some level of a therapy practice as my first interest has always been in getting to know people and helping people through individual challenges.
