Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have practiced as a therapist and mental health specialist over 20 years. I have worked hospital settings, emergency room and outpatient care. I effectively treat mood disorders, anxiety grief and trauma. I'm trained and experienced in many types of therapy, specializing in interpersonal and trauma therapy.
First session
In our first session we will complete a comprehensive history. We will discuss present problem areas and functioning to establish clear obtainable goals for improvement. We will also address your thoughts on therapy and concerns you may have regarding the process. We will begin to define problem areas with measurements to gauge real progress and identify a clear diagnosis moving forward.
Strengths
Throughout my years of experience, I have come to realize that each client brings very different strengths difficulties, barriers and solutions to improved mental health. Listening in a way that provides opportunity for real the most effective sustainable progress is the most important tool I use. Bringing more than one approach to any given problem or set of symptoms has to be considered when facing challenges.
Ideal clients
I greatly enjoy working with clients who are looking to improve they lives and overall functioning. Struggling in relationships, coping with stress or overcoming barriers to realize improved quality of life is central to my goals when providing treatment.
Treatment methods
Interpersonal
I have extensive training and experience with interpersonal therapy. In my experience it focuses on the root cause of mood instability anxiety and emotional pain, allowing progress to be sustained for the individual and their effected relationships.
Prolonged Exposure Therapy
Prolonged Expose Therapy is effective in treating trauma that is depilating in many forms including the ability to establish and sustain relationships, day to day cognitive functioning, sleep disturbance, controlling anxiety and anger and many other areas that impact a persons life. This is an evidence based therapy that I have used for over a decade and find highly effective.
