LICSW, 45 years of experience
Hi,I am an experienced clinical social worker who has practiced psychotherapy,Play therapy and grief and loss therapy for 42 years. I serve very young children(3-10yrs.)and young families with learning Play Therapy increase bonding and communication skills.Additionally, I work with older adults ( 75+ ) who are in grief and depression searching for purpose and processing their life experience. My strength is an expertise in listening and quickly getting to the issues and encourage movement to change clients circumstances.
The 1st sessions are information gathering and perhaps addressing the problem .
My greatest strengths is my listening expertise and experience with all kinds of problems and issues .
I best serve clients who want to change and have support systems to change to make their life or families more meaningful.
This modality helps clients perceive another perspective on an issue they may have.
this modality of therapy applies to children ages 3-11 years old. It requires the clinician to watch how a child "plays" and to validate and track what they do as a method of their communication to adults.
approaching grief and grief stages help clients move through their grief and honor their grief in order to have a healthy outcome.
this modality of therapy is training couples to actively listen to one another and therefor communicate better
