Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! I am an LCSW with over 30 years of experience in both public and private mental health sectors. I enjoy assisting my clients in finding solutions and strengths to the concerns they bring to therapeutic sessions. I have extensive experience and knowledge in Solution-focused and Strength based therapeutic modalities, along with Cognitive-Behavioral therapy. I look forward to working with you and assisting you in meeting your goals.

My approach to therapy

I have extensive experience and knowledge in Solution-focused and Strength based therapeutic modalities, along with Cognitive-Behavioral therapy. CBT has been shown to be highly effective in helping to treat depression, anxiety, substance abuse disorders and more.

What you can expect from me

The initial therapy session will typically be around gathering psycho-social information to include what your specific goals are for treatment and what led you to choose to begin therapy at this time. This initial session is also around developing a positive therapeutic rapport between clinician and the client. I look forward to meeting you and beginning this growth journey along side of you.
