Greetings, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 33 years of experience working with individuals, groups, and veterans. I am a Board Certified Diplomate, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I assist individuals and provide support and coping skills that will assist with life situations. My experience extends from working with individuals, groups, and veterans coping with depression, PTSD, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem, adjustment issues, crisis situations, anxiety, and life issues.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session together, I like to hear from the client regarding their specific issues, conflicts and needs that they are experiencing. I like for the client to do most of the talking and sharing. This helps to establish a client centered relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a good problem-solver with a non -judgmental attitude. It is important that my clients feel comfortable with me and willing to share their difficulties and or issues they may be experiencing. My years of experience have developed the clinical experience that I can assist clients in various life situations.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I continue to assist and provide support through a range of treatment modalities. These include client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, trauma, guided imagery, coping with PTSD, and trauma recovery therapies. I utilize a non-judgmental supportive environment from a positive aspect. I involve the client in the treatment planning process that will provide a mutual working relationship.
