LCSW, 10 years of experience
Hello. I am a licensed clinical social worker. The past nine years I have provided counseling services to adults. I have experience working with clients, experiencing chronic illness, terminal diagnosis, adjustment disorder, anxiety, substance abuse, homelessness and depression. The support I provide to my clients has allowed them to overcome challenging transitions in their lives, as well as adversity. My clients have demonstrated after achieving goals, the ability to cope with life stressors and tragedies, in a healthier manner and the ability to navigate life challenges effectively.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, and then proceed to specific challenges you are facing. This information will allow us to then develop individualized goals.
My greatest strengths as a provider is my welcoming personality and empathy. My 11 years of direct practice has allowed me to identify ways to utilize my personal and professional strengths to help other achieve mutually agreed-upon measurable goals.
I love working with older adults who are adjusting to change of their life roles, retirement, loss of independence, grief, anticipatory and preparatory grief, and Issues with adjustment.
