As a Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience working with various populations in multiple settings, I believe that prioritizing mental well being is a key to happiness and life satisfaction. Over the past 15 years I have shifted my focus toward working with clients desiring to process complex trauma, life transitions, and chronic concerns.
It is a privilege to be invited into people’s lives, for them to share their journey and experiences with me, to listen and share in their challenges. It is important to consider you as the expert in your own life and me more as an outside observer. I can offer insight and skills for you to discover their usefulness, to see if they fit your needs. We process together the concerns you have integrating numerous therapeutic approaches, including but not limited to: Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Problem focused Therapy, Multi-Systemic Therapy, ADOPTS, Grief Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Mindfulness, among others.
Making that call and keeping that first appointment can be such a hard thing to do, you deserve honesty and integrity from the start. The first time we meet will be an introductory session where you can share with me what you are looking for in therapy. From there we will review options for the type of treatment that would best suit you and then begin developing your treatment goals. Together we can do this, you are the one in charge, I am simply a guide along the way.
