I am a LPC & LSW with over 20 years in the mental health field. I have two masters’ degrees and a doctorate degree. My strengths are working with people with the greatest need who may not have any hope, support or desire initially to help themselves. I work with children, adolescents, individuals, and families/couples. I work with diverse groups of people. I love my job. I feel that it is important and that only certain people can do it well. Please reach out to me. We will work together as a team. My approach to working with clients is to meet them where they are at. I do not believe in making the client adjust to the clinician. That is not fair. During the therapy session the appropriate therapeutic model will be decided based on what the client reveals during the first few sessions. It is then when the clinician will discuss the thoughts regarding the therapeutic model and the reason for it with the client. Clients can expect to take away a different view of what therapy sessions are after having a session with me. Sessions are actually team work. They are interactive and allow the clients to participate and reflect on many past events not just recent. Therapy can be very empowering. Open to working with children/adolescents 8 years and older.
