Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky. I received my Masters Degree at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pa. and been in practice for the past 32 years. I specialize in helping clients better cope with symptoms of mental health issues that include depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, and posttraumatic stress disorder in the hope of improving their quality of life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together we will take time to introduce ourselves and begin the process of developing a therapeutic relationship. We will then discuss the issues that brought you into treatment. This will help us develop an initial treatment plan that will be used to guide future sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, mental health clinics, employee assistance programs, and established my own private practice. I have developed my own style of conducting therapy that emphasizes compassion, honesty, openness, support, and actively including the client in the therapy process.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with clients who are actively engaged in the treatment process. They are open to ideas and suggestions and communicate in an open, honest, and transformative manner. They are eager to learn new skills and ask questions when they are feeling stuck.
