Welcome Congratulations on making the decision to take positive action in your life. Seeking therapeutic support, whether for yourself or a family member, takes courage and can be uncomfortable, at first, but can be enormously instrumental in bringing about a greater sense of well-being and inner peace, improved functioning in school or work and healthier and more rewarding relationships with friends and family. My Background I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field providing individual, group, parent and family counseling and therapy to children, teens and adults, as well as training and supervising therapists and interns. I have practiced in a variety of settings including hospitals, residential treatment centers, outpatient clinics, schools and on-line telehealth. Therapeutic Approach I see my role in the therapeutic process as that of partner and facilitator and strive to create a warm safe space within which clients can express concerns and take steps to attain a greater sense of well-being in their lives. I support clients in reflecting on how past experiences may be impacting their lives, in uncovering and utilizing existing strengths and attributes, as well as learning new coping skills and strategies. I customize my approach based on clients' unique experiences, needs and goals. Therapies and models I most commonly draw from are: Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, and various somatic and mindfulness-based techniques.
