Overview of Services & Philosophy
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) whose treatment specialization includes depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, self-esteem concerns, women's issues, young adults, grief and loss, physician mental health, parenting support, and finding overall balance, peace, and happiness in one’s life.
Working as a high school social worker for many years, I have valuable experience with adolescents and their families. Having helped over 500 clients in the school setting, I have dealt with a wide variety of issues, and am able to quickly establish rapport and build trust with an adolescent.
Other areas of expertise include helping adolescent girls find their voice and successfully transition into adulthood, working with the myriad school-related issues faced by both boys and girls, and Reiki treatments (energy healing), which is separate from psychotherapy.
I use a strength-based, cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and family systems approach, to create a highly personalized, client-centered experience. My clients come from diverse backgrounds, and I offer compassion, sensitivity and non-judgment to all. Since I believe that everyone’s time is valuable, I am very action-oriented and goal-focused.
I approach therapy with the understanding that we are all physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual beings, and that what affects one part of our lives influences how we function in all other areas. As human beings, we are always growing and changing. We all experience inner struggles, trying to maneuver the daily challenges of life. Sometimes we need help to manage those challenges.
It takes strength and courage to seek counseling. As your therapist, I am here to collaborate with you, to provide a safe and nurturing environment, and to assist you in fostering your growth and healing. I will help you to learn to trust yourself, find your authentic voice and increase your inherent sense of self-worth.
