Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 35 years of experience treating male and female clients ages 16-80 in individual and couples therapies. Treatment includes a broad range of issues relating to anxiety, depression, communicaton, life transitions, and improving self-esteem. My assessments include evaluating the clients Mind, Body, and Spirit and improving their lives to function at the highest level they ever have in their life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session I will ask patient to share with me what is bring them in to see me. I will ask your to "tell me your story" as to what has broght you in to counseling. It will be a through assessment of evaluating how well your mind and body are working and how we might improve on how you take take care of yourself physically and mentally to improve your quality of life. The first session will be a chance to see if you as the client feel my approach to counseling will help you improve your life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My experience level and my expertise in treating a variety of disorders are my strengths as a therapist. I have the widom and knowledge to assist patients in putting their lives in a better place after doing therapy with me than when they first came into therapy with me.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have used CBT as a practice method for many years. It is important to be aware of your cognitive distortions and negative thought patterns and CBT will be essential in changing these unhealthy patterns.
Couples Counseling
I have been coaching couples in therapy for many years. The focus on our work together is to improve communication skills and to help couples really listen to each other without letting their own issue filter into the conversations. Teaching couples empathy and how to " Lean Into" their relationshhip. This is done by using Gottman Methods and Mirroring techniques developed by Harville Hendrix.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have used DBT treatment in my practice for over 15 years. It is essential in helping patients learn how to stay in the present moment and spend less time in the past of future. It works very well in combination with CBT.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I have been a trained ERP therapist for over 15 years. It is the evidence based practice for treating OCD and Phobias. It is a very effective treatment modality and also helps decrase other forms of anxiety.
Mind-body approach
During your assessment we will look at the connection between the mind and body and help patients to understand the importance of the connection between the the two.
