About

I am a clinical social worker who has worked in many arenas over the past 32 years. I have worked with children and young adults in hospitals managing psychiatric crises, worked in sexual assault clinics, domestic violence agencies and therapeutic schools. I view clients through their experiences, genetic predispositions and try to help them understand themselves better and appreciate who they are. I use laughter, art therapy, talk therapy and various modalities such at CBT and DBT. I believe strongly in the initial evaluation and formulation of the treatment plan. Knowing your past and how it impacts your present is important in the beginning phase of treatment. I will refer back to this initial evaluation often to assist with growth and mindfulness of the hard work you are doing.
