Hello and Welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I have narrowed my specialty to the challenging years with the most life changing transitions - college age to late middle-aged adults. Through supportive therapy, together we navigate obstacles and gain perspective of self to lead to empowerment in life changing decisions and next steps, making it all make sense.
My approach to therapy is Holistic. We do not focus solely on symptoms, that is only a part of who you are. We explore the total person - your lifestyle, family origin, health, environment, personality - the complete package that makes You who you have become as you journey to further grow and discover who you are becoming. CBT, Solution Focused and Person Centered therapy are approaches I apply to reach our treatment goals. My areas of skill include: Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Life Transitions.
Clients have expressed to me that I create a relaxing environment for them, judgment free, open minded and welcoming. I have been told that I have a very soothing voice, that does not mean that I do not challenge progress. We establish a pace that is comfortable as we work towards goals to reduce the intensity and frequency of symptoms, to gain the understanding of underlying emotions, emotional and behavioral responses and strategies to best cope and practice self-care.
