I am a licensed certified social worker for about 30 years. I have worked with families, children and couples in addition to strong background in mental illness.
My approach to the therapeutic process is a cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe gaining insight is only half the work; the second part is implementing changes in behaviors and thoughts. I believe homework for clients can be useful and is helpful for the client to identify his/her own gains and areas of continued work.
I believe every individual has the capacity to change.
I believe you start where the client is and treat everyone with dignity and respect.
I look forward to speaking to you.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Trauma and abuse, Parenting issues, Anger management, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Hospice and End of Life Counseling
Clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
