LCSW, 25 years of experience
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, couples and families. In my practice I have worked with different modalities and approaches and tailor the treatment to the specific needs of the individual client. My goal is to assist the client to identify and reach theirs to the best of their ability and to support them along the way.
In our first session I want to begin to get to know the client and understand their unique needs in the therapy process, as well as to begin to establish the therapeutic alliance. Once the client begins to establish a comfort level in the therapy room, we can begin to establish the goals for the work they will do in their treatment and how they will achieve these goals.
I believe that anyone can succeed at making even a small change and I love seeing my clients succeed. Sometimes there is no "cure" or no fast "cure" for issues individuals bring to therapy but I believe that together we can find a solution to help you to feel better about what you bring to the table!
There is no such thing as an ideal client. As long as you feel comfortable/ready to begin exploring making a change in your life, I am here to support you in this process.
I utilize mindfulness techniques to assist clients to better understand their feelings and thoughts and how these impact the body and everyday functioning.
I assist clients to identify and utilize their strengths to work towards solving the issues they are struggling with.
