My approach Solution Focused Brief Treatment Crisis Intervention Client Centered Systems Approach CBT My focus Clients include individuals suffering from depression and anxiety. I have a specialty with women suffering from post partum depression. Clients also include those going through life transitions, parenting, work/life balance, illness, grief and loss. My communication style My environment is open and welcoming, where clients will feel heard and cared about. My journey to therapy I have been a social worker in the healthcare setting for 20 years. most recently have been doing individual supervision for students and new staff. From this individual work, as well as being sought out by other individuals in my work place for support over the past 3 years, I realize the importance of therapy and self care and want to do more individual therapy to help people cope with all the changes that the world has seen. My goals for you Upon initial assessment, I will get to know my clients and learn their reasons for starting therapy and with this information set goals that will meet their needs. My first session with you The first session will be a "get to know you". Learn about the reason for coming to therapy, living situation, support system, and what is going well and what may not be working in their life in the present. All sessions will also include a safety and mental health screening assessment
