LCSW, 26 years of experience
I have worked in the forensic population, including sex offenders, perpetrators of domestic violence, patients involved with child protective services, probation and parole. I also have experience working with parents in developing effective parenting skills. I work well with teens, young adults and adults in developing coping skills, exploring toxic relationships, addressing anxiety and depression. I also have experience working with trauma.
In our first session we will go over presenting concerns, your family of origin, childhood experiences, past psychiatric treatment, current medical conditions, prescribed medications, hobbies, interests, employment and education history, and any cultural factors you feel are important ad relevant to your treatment, as well as your goals for our work together. We will also go over billing, confidentiality, and cancellation policies.
My treatment is reality based, eclectic and task oriented and solution focused.
I have an eclectic approach to assisting patients who are struggling with time management, parenting depression, anxiety, relationship issues work related issues and are facing court mandated services.
I am a task-oriented therapist I assist patients in identifying and resolving the core triggers to whatever dysfunction may be bringing them distress
I am not a therapist who sticks to one treatment method. Different methods based on patient need preference and response to treatment
