I have been in the mental health field for over 25 years, receiving my MSW from Indiana University Northwest School of Social Work. In my private practice, I have the freedom to conduct sessions in a relaxed, hopeful environment. Therapy on THE BEACH uses a positive approach to bring about change. I have worked with all age groups; working with families to integrate children back into their family settings. Clients with dysregulated moods, depression, anxiety and anger issues. Working with couples through my own technique WAR. Working with the elderly who often times feel like they are facing depression and end of life issues alone.
Working with individuals, couples, families, and groups .During my years in practice, I have worked in IP, OP, and clients homes. Some of these treatments include; diverse diagnoses, BPD, Bi-Polar, PTSD, depression, addictions, grieve, and dissociative disorders. I incorporate narrative therapy, SF, DBT, Play Therapy, and CBT techniques.
As a client based strength therapist, I work teaching new skills for old problems. Focusing on what is important to my clients and what works for them as individuals. We will work as a team to find successful ways to cope with painful experiences, and ways to improve relationships. Qualified supervision for social work intern.
