About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and haveworked in the mental health field since 1995. My main areas of work involved resolving past trauma, improving self-esteem, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and anger management. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My counseling style is friendly and interactive and I hold a deep personal belief that all people have intrinsic worth and are deserving of being able to love and value themselves as unique individuals. I also incorporates improving self-care and mindfulness interventions.
I know that therapy involves work and a commitment to change, so I will not tell you that therapy is going to be easy, but I can tell you that it will be worth it, because YOU are worth it!
I look forward to working with you!
