My Background and Approach
I am a Masters level social worker with twenty plus years of experience working with individuals ages 18+. My counseling style is caring, interactive and direct. I believe in treating you as I would want to be treated which includes with the utmost respect, sensitivity and compassion. My goal and hope in working together is two-fold. On the short term, I'd like to help you to get some relief with your feelings of being overwhelmed, sadness, grief, anxiety, and depression to ease some of the your symptoms so you can live a full life again. On the longer term, I hope that we can get to the bottom of the feelings, concerns and dilemmas that help you to feel more balanced and in control of all aspects of your life. Together we will keep taking one step at a time, in a pace that you feel comfortable with.
