About
I have over 26 years of experience, initially with a focus on medical social work. Since that time, I have been in the field of child welfare, working in CPS and the Child Abuse Hotline in DC. This has provided me with a wealth of experience in crisis intervention, depression, child abuse/trauma, anxiety, substance use, OCD, and DV. When working with clients, I believe in allowing them to take the lead with interaction throughout the process and a collaborative approach. I believe in treating everyone with respect, compassion and sensitivity. My approach is somewhat eclectic, based on the client's needs, using solution focused and cognitive behavioral techniques.
