About My Clients
Using empathy and humor, I am well suited to help those who struggle with depression, trauma, grief, infidelity, life transitions, relationship problems, sexual compulsion, family conflicts and anxiety. Working from a holistic, client-centered model I integrate CBT, ACT and Solution-Focused approaches to help my clients on their journey. I am available in-person or virtually weekday evenings and Saturdays.
My Background and Approach
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I've been the director of a Youth & Family Services for nearly 25 years. My roots are in client-centered and systemic clinical approach, always putting the dreams and aspirations of my client at the center of any treatment. As I've integrated more skills-based therapy into my work, I pull from CBT, ACT, and Solution-Focused approaches to treatment. As much as possible, I try to infuse exposure and real-life experiences into my work with clients. In my private practice, I have focused heavily in relationship orientated treatment because I find that interpersonal challenges are often at the heart of our suffering. I'm happy to work with clients individually or as a couple.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that much of our suffering comes from habits we learned early in our lives to survive overwhelming and challenging experiences. However, the adaptive skills we learned at 12 years old no longer work and only leaves us more alone. It has been my experience that when clients can see patterns and commit to a new way of functioning, they begin to make new and better decisions. At the core of my treatment is recognizing our tendency towards avoidance and move towards acknowledging the things that cause us main and learn to accept or fix those things.
