LSCSW, 24 years of experience
I'm a psychotherapist and Clinical Social Worker with 23 years experience providing mental health care for individuals, couples and families. I have experience providing brief and long-term therapy with adolescents and adults coping with a spectrum of mental health conditions; grief and loss; relationship issues; occupational problems and social injustices. It's exciting when relief and hope grow from therapy and the relationship supports meaningful change.
Introductions; information gathering; there is opportunity to assess if the relationship feels like a good fit.
I'm very supportive in session. I have a great deal of knowledge about mental health treatment.
I enjoy working with adolescents and adults; males and females; non-binary clients and clients who identify as LGBTQ, or transgender. I have considerable experience providing mental health services for clients of diverse cultures and ethnicities. I recently worked at an Army Community Hospital where I spent a decade providing clinical services for Active Duty Service Members and their families.
The therapy relationship is the means for support and growth. The client's past and its influence on here and now issues is explored. Progress in therapy occurs when clients gain insight, self-awareness, and overcome barriers.
