I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Ph.D. in my discipline. I have 26 years of experience working collaboratively with my clients to reach their desired goal(s). I specialize in Anxiety and Depressive Disorders, in particular Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and the use of Exposure Response Prevention and Habit Reversal Training. I also treat Mood Disorders and garden variety issues prompted by daily life stressors. My personal style is grounded in theory, practicality, flexibility, and hardy humor. Review my website where I discuss my practice in detail as well as offer other related services.
Specialties include: anxiety and OCD; depression; mood instability; emotional dysregulation; difficulties in relationships; life stages; identity; career selection; work difficulties; coping with loss. I work with individuals, families, and couples. I have an interest in addressing the unique needs of LGBT (transgender) and non-binary individuals.
Simply stated, my role as clinician is to introduce my clients to themselves and help them to reframe their perspective. I assist in this process by employing a non-threatening yet appropriately contesting approach. "Big picture thinking" is at the core of my treatment approach. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you!
