About
I am a licensed clinical social worker and registered play therapist with over twenty years of experience. My career has encompassed many different developmental stages as well as diverse clients. My private practice had clients from three to adult. I have worked with both individuals as well as parents and their child(ren). The concerns have been wide ranging - depression, anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD, school issues and trauma - to name some. I have considerable experience working with traumatized clients. There is a saying that everyone is a victim of their childhood. Unfortunately, there is much truth in the statement.
My therapeutic framework is integrative, which means that I utilize a variety of approaches depending on the issue we are addressing. I utilize cognitive behavior techniques, humanistic (client-centered), family-of-origin work, somatic techniques as well as others as the need arises. Our conversation and treatment plan will be tailored to meet your unique and specific needs.
It can be daunting to ask for help. But, you are taking the first steps towards change and seeking a more fulfilling and satisfying life. If you are ready to start that journey, I will be here to support and guide you.
I look forward to working together!
