Getting help is never an easy step and in fact, can be anxiety-provoking. Therapy can help to empower and equip you with effective strategies to resolve issues and cope during challenging times. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working in mental health and the medical field. I have extensive experience working with adults, teens, and children within inpatient and outpatient settings. Specialty areas: Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Trauma, and Grief.
I will assist you in developing personalized goals and assess the best therapeutic techniques for your needs. Integrating a variety of therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and Solution Focused Therapy with an initial Eclectic Approach.
I believe the therapeutic alliance between counselor and client is of the utmost importance and will work toward meeting you right where you are in the therapuetic process. Evening appointments available.
