I have been practicing as a licensed psychotherapist and clinical social worker for over 25 years. Therapy is not a complicated process. We discuss expectations of therapy, identifying specific treatment goals and mapping out a plan. Our work takes place within the boundaries of a safe, corrective emotional relationship. Therapy works. It is about growth and evolution, and I repeatedly observe that there is great joy in embracing positive new behaviors based on this collaborative approach.
I put patients’ feelings into words, and we focus on reducing symptoms so they no longer adversely impact my patients’ personal and professional lives.
I've worked with thousands of clients over the course of many years, and love working with people. Actively listening, acknowledging and validating clients' feelings are essential to helping to helping to improve my clients' quality of life.
I see clients across generations with an emphasis on Gen Z and Millenials coping with a dystopic world with challenging environmental stressors, to enhance coping skills, reduce anxiety and depressed mood.
I use a CBT/ Solution Focused approach in helping patients address symptom management with issues such as reducing anxiety and elevating and stabilizing a depressed mood. We move toward wellness together with a focus on improving quality of life.
