I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of mental health care experience. I focus on building a therapeutic relationship with clients to reach their goals using several different intervention modalities. I am a creative motivator while respecting personal differences and diversity.
My style fuses behavioral and psychodynamic theories which provides a comprehensive approach that addresses observable behaviors but also seeks to unpack the deeper emotional and psychological issues contributing to those behaviors. This way the process is versatile, empathetic, and aimed at fostering both immediate change and long-term self-understanding.
I like creating a warm and safe environment where you will feel understood and respected. I believe this approach is essential for exploring deeper emotional issues while also addressing behavioral patterns. I will strive to support you while encouraging you to reach your goals.
