Licensed Independent Clinical Social Workers | Clinic Director
I believe that every individual needs support during their journey through life. Anyone can go through challenges and work through those difficulties on their own. But sometimes challenges may at times may be overwhelming to handle on one’s own. This is when support of a therapist can be crucial to their well-being. I use a combination of diverse therapeutic modalities tailored to each client because every individual is unique.
I believe that clients want to gain skills and find support in gaining solutions to their struggles. Sometimes they just need a listening ear and for someone to validate and understand where they are. I use a collaborative approach where we work together on a treatment plan using goals in your own words.
I use Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Behavior Modification, Gottman Method techniques, Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Strength-Based, and Trauma Focused, that build on the natural strengths of the client and work together on identifying what works.
My style includes warmth, humor and direct communication. It will be my honor to walk beside you as you continue on this journey towards healing. I believe in the philosophy that YOU are the expert of your own life! My role in the therapeutic relationship is to provide methods that allow you to be open to build onto some of the innate skills you already possess and to support you in the process that allows you to live your best life, feeling confident and encouraged to face life’s challenges.
