About
I am A Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years’ experience. I utilize a variety of treatment models to assist people with meeting there therapeutic goals.
My expertise is in Cognitive Behavior Theory for Depression, Anxiety and Sleep disruptions. I am also a trauma focused therapist that specializes in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you recover from traumatic events in adulthood and/or adverse childhood events.
I utilize a Wholistic Approach which is focused on the BIOPYSCHOSOCIAL MODEL, i.e. bio/genetic- psycho/cognitive and emotions- social/cultural, religion, socioeconomic status, as this approach helps me to understand factors that may create barriers or challenges for you. Lastly, I work with couples to improve relationship satisfaction by reducing relationship distress utilizing the DEEP Approach; looking At Differences, Emotional Sensitivities, External Stressors, Patterns of interaction/communication.
I believe that therapy is YOUR TIME, I strive to quickly build a strong rapport, and a feeling of trust and mutual respect. As your therapist my goal in therapy sessions is to allow you to find time for yourself , to utilize a variety of acceptance and changed based strategies, and to reduce negative impacts in your life so you can find meaning, value and wellness.
I am excited to meet you and work together to identify your goals !
