I am licensed as a social worker as well as an addiction specialist. My ideal client is struggling to understand how substance use and misuse is effecting their life.Maybe they are questioning their own use, or that of their partner, children, or they grew up with alcoholics in the household. I also love working with people with depression and anxiety who want to examine where they are at and where they might want to go. I love thinking outside the box and encouraging new ways of seeing the world and its possibilities.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Compassionate and pragmatic attention to your experiences, dreams and aspirations. I am funny and warm and real easy to talk to.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am compassionate and understanding, intelligent and attentive. I have a good sense of humor and love looking at the glass half full.
