I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over 20 years of experience helping people work towards their goals and move through the trials that people face in life. I have worked with individuals with many different concerns some of which are depression, anxiety, sports and performance anxiety, addiction, trauma , physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence, anger, Chronic medical conditions, family issues, relationship issues, career concerns, retirement, parenting issues and others.
I have a very conversational style. I want to make sure that that you are comfortable and we will take the time to do that. I will guide the counseling but we are going to do this together. The pace depends on your needs. I will use aspects of several different types of theories but mostly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational interviewing , Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and solution focused. What really matters is that you are getting what you need.
