If you want to have peace of mind when situations around you are stressing you out, call me and WE can determine how I can best help you and your situation. As a Psychiatric Social Worker my services are geared to help adults manage the circumstances adversely affecting them. For many, short term or brief therapy is sufficient. I treat people exhibiting problems with stress, marital problems, gay/lesbian relationships, Incest, and I also provide pre-marital counseling. My pre-marital sessions are 6 to 10 sessions to help prepare you for a lifetime with your new partner. I also provide grief/loss counseling.
My clinical experience includes working as a drug counselor in a residential drug program, working with the chronically mentally ill, working in an outpatient mental health facility, and working at a jail with incarcerated men. I have been in full time private practice for more than twenty five years. I have extensive training with regard to INCEST survivors
I am happy Mental Health awareness has increased. It has been difficult for some to ask for help. There is no shame in seeking counseling when you are overwhelmed. Please call. You do not have to suffer in silence or alone. Help is available and it is confidential.
