Hello! You want to talk and I want to listen. Together we will examine your reasons for coming to therapy and decide on a plan to address them. You are in the drivers seat. I am here to help facilitate change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in counseling. I have worked in the mental health field for 20 years in hospitals, offices, clinics, nursing homes and the emergency department. I have a wide range of expertise. I work well with people who are depressed, anxious, have experienced trauma, have health concerns, are aging, who have relationship difficulties, trouble communicating, life stress, doubts about their faith, work issues, trouble with drugs or alcohol, school problems and those seeking purpose or meaning. I am comfortable with your pain and I am here to help. In all of my years as a social worker I have learned that while I know about how to work through difficulties, each person has their own story, there can be no assumptions. That is why I use a highly collaborative approach. I employ Psychodynamic Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Brief Therapy, Existential Therapy and Mindfulness. If you are unfamiliar with these treatments I will explain them and we can decide what we try together. I am dedicated to authenticity, transparency, honesty, building trust and sharing what I know. I’m dedicated to your wellness, present and future. It takes courage to do what you are doing. I would be honored to walk with you. Let’s start your better tomorrow today!
