Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience as a therapist. I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children from various backgrounds in community mental health clinics and private practices. I understand that having the courage to seek help can be challenging. I believe in the importance of establishing a safe therapeutic relationship. I am here to support you by applying my knowledge and expertise to help you identify the core of your difficulties and effectively cope with your challenges. I use evidence-based tools that empower you to improve your overall functioning.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we learn about each other and our expectations. I will review your history and current life challenges. We will aim for a deeper understanding and the core of what you would like to transform.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is helping individuals, couples, children, and adolescents explore and increase understanding of their difficulties treating anxiety, depression, and/or trauma exploring coping strategies to address issues holding back personal and family progress and growth.
