I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have had the privilege of working with individuals, couples and children from across the country.
I have wanted to help people since growing up in a large family where I was able to enjoy the love and security that only a family can provide. I wanted to "give back" to others at an early age. I believe that "family is the first cell of society" and I know that a healthy marriage is the best protective factor to ensure long-term success for the family and healthy outcomes for children. So I would be especially eager to work with couples struggling with communication issues.
My approach to therapy is client/couple-centered, trauma informed and strengths based.
I believe that a strong supportive relationship between client and therapist is essential in creating trust and safety in the therapeutic process, so I will actively listen to you and allow you to feel validated and heard.
I will also provide you with a short presentation on basic human brain development that takes a cognitive/physical/emotional perspective to give us a foundation to work and provide a more rounded approach to treatment going forward.
For couples seeking communication support, I will introduce a technique that is evidenced based to assist in communication break downs and foster healthy patterns of communication,
With years of experience working with children and families, I have the confidence that I can help you build new skills that will increase the quality of your interpersonal relationships and help you discover your true value and strengths through the therapeutic process! I am ready to get started!
