LCSW, 25 years of experience
New to Grow
"Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience working with individuals and couples, both inpatient and outpatient; also online and in private practice. My specialty areas include Addictions, Depression, Bipolar, ADHD, OCD, GRIEF & BEREAVEMENT. I am a Qualified Supervisor, and Qualified Professional in the State of Florida. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.
During the first session you will be treated with respect, warmth, dignity, and a spirit of hope. I actively listen and show empathy for your concerns and problems that you are facing.
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is my positive empathic spirit that will encourage and provide you hope--my experience and expertise will further provide you with the coping skills, knowledge, and tools to succeed .
Together, we will identify your challenges and therapy goals - where you want your life to be in a month, six months, a year from now. Then, we'll identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You'll leave the session with a better understanding of what you're facing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is my foundational treatment method due to its effectiveness especially with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Upon request and as appropriate utilize mindfulness therapy; along with either Christian, faith based or non-religious, existential, humanistic therapies.
I provide couples therapy using family systems approach, imago family therapy, and brief strategic family therapy.
