I received my Master's degree while raising my family as a single mom. I've been actively in the field of therapy and social work for the better part of twenty years. I have specialized in substance abuse treatment for much of my career, with group and individual services.
I approach the therapeutic relationship from a collaborative perspective. I want to know what you feel is problematic or uncomfortable so that we are working on what's most important to you. You are the expert on you and my role is to help you embrace new information that can be supportive to allowing you to experience the growth and development you desire out of a therapeutic relationship.
For our first session, I like to get to know you the person and what your concerns are. What brought you to therapy and what do you hope to gain from the experience?
