LCSW, 25 years of experience
New to Grow
A clinical therapist with over 25 years of experience providing cousenling services to a wide variety of individuals in many different settings and capacities, of all ages, couples, families, and groups. I've helped numerous people work through their unique situations and regain health, happiness, and success. I realize, for all of us, there will be challenges and difficult times in our lives; but that we also have a wonderful capacity to regain control, learn new skills/strategies, and work through these challenges in a healthy and prosperous way. We don't have to do this alone. I can help. Some of my training and specialties include, but are not limited to: ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Oriented Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Parent Management Training. I am particularly suited to assist with Trauma, Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, and Relational Problems.
In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you achieve your treatment goals. We will set goals for our work together and discuss a variety of modalities that can help you reach your goals.
Years of knowledge and experience working with a wide variety of different clients with various therapuetic needs. I have been very successful in identifying the most suited modalities for my clients and helping them reach their treatment and life goals. I am told that I have a calm, nurturing presence that is comforting and encouraging, providing a safe space for my clients to do good therapuetic work.
Client's who prefer an interactive and solution oriented approach to recovery, health, and healing. I teach skills and strategies proven effective in promoting recovery and helping individuals, couples, and families achieve their treatment and life goals.
I have been a trained CBT Therapist since the start of my career in this field in 2002. I was first introduced to the methodology while gaining my education more than 25 years ago, and have witnessed how successful it is in helping clients reach their treatment goals and achieve lasting results.
I have been trained and actively applying this methodology for several years now. My clients enjoy gaining the many DBT skills and strategies that are proven effective in promoting their recovery and mental/behavioral health goals moving forward in life.
I have utlized this approach in my practice for many years and find that many of my clients appreciate the focus on solutions that this methodology promotes. It can get quick results for those with limited time.
I have been considered a trauma specialiast for many years and am trained in several different trauma focused interventions including: Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Traumatic Incident Reduction, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
