Introduction

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in the fields of mental health, education and medicine. My areas of interest and expertise are Anxiety, Depression, Stress, School Related Issues and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I firmly believe that when people gain insight into their thoughts and feelings, they are able to move toward the positive change that will help them progress toward their goals and improve the quality of their life. I am passionate about helping individuals realize their potential and strengths to help them help themselves! Through the use of Motivational Interview (prompting the client by asking direct relevant questions), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) I am able to help my clients move toward the positive change they are seeking. The focus is placed on a person's present and future circumstances and goals rather than past experiences. Therapy works best when the therapist and client are working together toward a common goal and when there is a comfortable and trusting relationship. I am a warm and compassionate person who can easily connect with children, adolescents and adults.
