I am a licensed clinical social worker with over eight years of experience. I am a veteran and have over 12 years experience working with soldiers and their family members. I also was raised in a military family and understand the unique dynamics of the military family. I have worked with a wide range of clients and have treated clients with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship and crisis situations. I have also conducted PTSD and Caregiver Support Groups.
My counseling style is to start where you are and allow you the client to our sessions and to treat you with the respect that you deserve. I utilize Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Crisis Intervention and other therapy modalities when working with clients. I utilize the modality that works best for each individual client or family.
It is a huge step to go into counseling and I commend you for your bravery. I am here to support you along the way.
