As a clinical social worker, I provide therapy from the standpoint of a mentor, teacher, as well as a guide, in order for clients to have control over their treatment. I use an eclectic mixture of approaches, including strength based, psychoeducational, narrative and cognitive behavioral therapies. Meeting clients where they are is what we do best No medication is prescribed in my office currently as I am not a physician and there is not one on staff, but I do work with many physicians from around the area. I will gladly refer to a physician if medication management is needed or a clinical psychologist for formal testing.
Currently, new clients are accepted case by case, as space for face to face appointments on my personal caseload is limited. However, I am excited to announce I have created a team of clinicians, made up of colleagues I taught while in training to better serve you. E-mail me today and we will get you matched width the appropriate clinician for your needs
My life experiences have made me passionate about what I do.. I try to teach my clients something they are curious about every time they see me, but I also allow my clients to teach me. This makes developing personalized treatment plans easier, resulting in a more collaborative therapeutic approach.
