About

I have experience as a clinical social worker, working in both the private and public sector, since 1992. I have experience using therapeutic techniques working with adults and minors, in various work settings.
I have worked with, veterans, minors, as well as the elderly, adoptive and homeless populations. I have provided values focused, generalist, eclectic, client centered, self-enriching, strength-based therapy and guidance to clients with relationship issues, parenting issues, trauma history, and anxiety. In therapy, I will enable you to learn about issues you may have been challenged with, develop skills to manage the challenges you may have, and techniques to help you stay focused and promote healthy living. I am more of a generalist practitioner, and am in the habit of using various therapeutic techniques, that compliment maximizing results, on both a short and long term basis. Use of a model of therapy called acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive therapy, behavior focused therapy, solution focused and motivational interviewing, would be employed. Through establishing mutual milestones and goals to accomplish, we can explore and address the underlying causes/challenges of default behaviors, beliefs, and feelings, and together we can begin the process of healing, and/or considering alternative ways to respond to challenges.
