Hello , I am a licensed social worker based in Ohio. And I also am licensed in California and Arizona. I have been practicing for close to 40 years, so have a great deal of professional and life experience, that I can apply to my work with clients. I am motivated to help adults of any age, move forward with their lives. And there to help clients develop healthy skills that they can utilize, to become their "best selves." My approach is primarily short term/solution focused. I also see myself as a life coach for many of my clients.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I try to really hear and understand, what issues you are most concerned about and to understand specific challenges you may be facing. I then can work with you to develop goals to get you on your way to a healthier life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have many years of experience in the mental health field working in a variety of settings with diverse populations. And years of life experience. I am very goal oriented and good at helping clients learn tools and strategies to help them manage the issues that are challenging them. Additionally, I have been actively involved in yoga and meditation practices for years and can apply this experience with my work with clients.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have a special interest and experience in working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, OCD, cancer, bereavement. chronic health and post partum issues. And who are motivated to change and want pragmatic skills and strategies to move forward in their lives as quickly as possible. I do not work with clients virtually who have high risk concerns; such as suicidal ideation. serious substance abuse issues, significant addiction issues or domestic violence concerns.
