Hi I'm very interested in learning about you and what you are struggling with at this point in your life. I'm a clinical social worker/ psychotherapist specializing in client centered incite driven psychodynamic therapy. What does that mean? It means that I'm interested in building a relationship with you and helping through the difficulty you are having in your life. About me, I have worked in mental health for over 14 years. I worked in community mental health for 10 years where I ran ego building groups for adults who suffer from severe mental illness. I have been a psychotherapist for just over 6 years. I am experienced in helping people through life transitions, grief, older adults with HIV, end of life, marriage and relationship counseling, work stress or out of work stress, depression, anxiety, and dealing with all types of trauma.

My approach combines aspects of client-centered, psychodynamic and cognitive- behavioral psychotherapies. I will emphasize a particular modality of treatment depending upon the nature and intensity of the obstacles that the individual is encountering and how these interfere with achieving a feeling of well being and personal accomplishment.

A friendly empathetic clinician ready to explore your therapy goals and begin a game plan for our work together. Lets break it down. Why did you decide to go to therapy now? Have you had therapy before? I want to learn as much about you as possible to we can design a strategy to work together on things that you want to alter in your life.
