I offer a respectful, varied, and empathic approach to therapy. My goal is to work with you to identify personal strengths, develop and hone coping and problem solving methods, and create ways to establish and sustain a mental and emotional balance. I fervently believe your struggles need not be your identity. I also provide comprehensive clinical supervision to MSW grads looking to prepare for the stringent LCSW exam. I offer a two-prong approach to supervision: preparing for the exam and honing clinical skills transferrable to any practice settings. Fee for at least 100 hours of clinical supervision is negotiable.
I offer varied appointment times: mornings, evenings, weekends. I try to work around your schedule. I treat clinical depression, mood disorders, workplace issues, repeat and situational stress/anxiety, trauma, and other issues. I provide care using different treatment modalities: CBT, DBT, Trauma Informed, EMDR, Group focused, Couples therapy and others.
We are all unique, beautifully imperfect individuals. Let's work together to direct your path and learn from life's myriad of experiences. "We gain strength, courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face. We must do that which we think we cannot" Eleanor Roosevelt
