Licensed Independent Social Worker and Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor with extensive experience working in community mental health, crisis intervention and individual counseling. I currently work at a Northeast Ohio Health System providing individual counseling services. I encourage individuals to identify and address their strong emotional response and learn effective coping skills to manage their environmental and/or life stressors.
Through evidence-based practices, such as, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Informed Care, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Seeking Safety and Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment and more; I encourage patients to challenge their thinking patterns and/or perceptions, learn and utilize effective wellness skills, develop and maintain healthy relationships and participate in meaningful activities and/or find their interest and passion to thrive in life.
Individuals will learn to identify areas of improvement, develop strategies and action plans to address their areas of improvement in nonjudgmental, welcoming and therapeutic environment.
