I can truly say I love being a LCSW therapist. I have an ability to build deep trust, I have specialized expertise and a stabilizing presence that 25 years of experience in residential care and community mental health brings. I have experience with adolescents, families and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, ADHD, identity struggles, drug and alcohol issues and those who want support getting their life back on track.
I use an acceptance on meeting a client exactly where they are at, I create a low pressure environment, I act as a calm steady anchor and share empathy for life's struggles. I focus on validation believing let's do more of what IS working and will introduce coping skills and understanding of what is not.
In your first session our primary focus will be on getting to know each other and building a comfortable foundation for our work together. We will review history and standard intake paperwork answering any questions you may have. We will begin thinking about treatment goals and what we can do to work through what brought you to therapy.
