Four decades of experience, advanced training in the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, dependencies and addictions, dual diagnosis, personality disorders and crisis intervention. I was trained at the VA, hold licenses in two states and have attended numerous national and regional conferences and have presented on my experiences.
Client -centered with an emphasis on cognitive analysis combined with behavioral change. I often utilize psychodynamic therapy when family systems are a part of the presenting issues. I pride myself in my empathic qualities and listening skills.
I let the client inform me of their perspective on what they want to discuss while asking follow -up questions to clarify each major topic. I also check in with the client to see if we are to a solid start and to ensure we are on the same page and that they feel heard!
