LCSW-C, 19 years of experience
I am a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker with almost twenty years experience working with individuals, families and groups. I work from the perspective although I know various theoretical approaches well, every client is unique and treatment should reflect their personal needs. I also have over ten years experience in clinical supervision and professional growth empowerment. I look forward to working with you.
From the first session, my goal is to understand the unique needs and expectations of everyone I sit down with. I believe in transparency from the very start.
I think my greatest strength is I love my job and hope to practice for the rest of my days.
I enjoy the diverse and complex nature of all people. I have literally worked with all ages from infants to end of life care.
In my almost twenty years of professional experience in helping individuals, families and couples to overcome complex problems, the DBT skills such as interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness have proven effective in the treatment of a wide range of psychological and emotional problems.
I believe resistance and defensive mechanisms can prevent unpleasant thoughts and feelings from becoming conscious.
In my experience with adoption, foster-care and trauma work I found my understanding of Attachment based theory valuable.
I find positive Psychology useful in moving from surviving to flourishing.
Play Therapy techniques tend to be used primarily with children, however I have found these skills effective for all ages to address and heal problems and relationships.

She's very nice and easy to talk to. I could barely feel the time go by and I left feeling welcomed and heard.

She reminds me of a very fun mom. She's very friendly and warm, and keeps you engaged during your session. She seems like she enjoys what she does for a living.
