I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents and families. I have worked in Partial Hospital Programs, local emergency rooms, schools and as a consultant at a local juvenile detention facility. I enjoy working with clients to address issues of depression, family conflict, divorce, delinquency, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and aggression. I have witnessed the resiliency of families during the most difficult times of their lives.
I have been trained in the Person in Environment Model which helps me in understanding the reciprocity of a person's surroundings, beliefs and relationships. I work to empower them to make the changes they desire. I have also been trained in Motivational Interviewing which helps me engage with the most reluctant clients.
I have immediate openings and can accommodate clients any weekday. I look forward to working with you!
