Therapy style
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked 20+ years with adults who have experienced mental health challenges. I use a collection of therapeutic techniques specific to the needs of the person, and my underlying philosophy is to facilitate conversations that evoke critical thinking so that people can master the skills necessary to resolve their own issues. My approach is simple: Meet people where they are at from a compassionate, non-judgmental, and honest perspective. I also provide mandated or court-ordered services, as I have considerable experience working in Family Court, CPS, and Criminal Court. I’m considered an “expert witness” and can also help with navigating the complexities of these systems.
