As a licensed clinical social worker who has been a psychotherapist for 27 years, I describe my clinical style as eclectic since everyone has different needs and problems. I work with clients in exploring and easing their stressors and discovering the roots of their emotional stress. This awareness is needed to prevent reoccurrence of the presenting problem. My clients always ask me: "Why do we have to go into my childhood sometimes? Because unresolved childhood issues are like old luggage that always gets carried into our adult relationships and prevents us from having fulfilling lives".
