LCSW, 25 years of experience
In my 25+ years as psychotherapist I have a profound respect for the vast human experience and the resilience of . I am a welcoming and safe presence for clients who are seeking to be heard and understood. I have a compassionate and direct style that conveys my ability to offer a unique perspective. I work with each individual's strenghts to build skills and coping strategies to manage symptoms and life's stresses.
I discuss what therapy is and isn't and I review the consents and confidentiality policies. I ask question of the clien to get to know them and what brought them into therapy.
Most clients feel immediatly comfortable with me and appreciate that I provide gentile and honest feedback
I work well with adults and adolescents, male or female.
