Hello and Welcome. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in depression, anxiety, panic attacks, anger management, problem gambling and healthy living with a chronic illness for 22 years. By creating a safe, supportive environment, I help clients address challenging issues and life transitions with compassion, insight and gentle humor. I focus on your strengths while incorporating problem solving strategies that allow you to become an active participant in the healing process. The decision to enter therapy takes courage. It can be hard work. It can also change your life and I'm a firm believer that it's never too late to make those changes.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
It is my intention that what we do together will have value and you will feel empowered with coping skills, an understanding of the mind-body interaction and a new perspective that will bring about positive changes. Your life and your relationships will improve.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
The methods and therapy tools I use are varied depending on the needs of the client. These tools include a strength based approach that incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy and coping techniques that empower and promote resilience and healing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel that my biggest strength is recognizing that therapy is a partnership and I understand it takes courage and perseverance to make changes. I also understand that each person has individual needs. Navigating and growing through depression, anxiety, anger, gambling addictions, a chronic illness or other challenges can be a difficult journey. I am able to provide support, insight and tools to help you move forward so you can achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
