Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Ideally, I work with adults struggling with mood disorders, anxiety disorders or relationship problems. I always strive to support developing stronger interpersonal social rhythms, and development of effective coping skills; using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Based Therapy. Clients who are able to identify strengths that help them in their recovery, and deficits in their recovery can begin working with myself in setting goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bound. I have worked as a therapist for fifteen years, I have worked in a wide variety of settings to include severe and persistent mental illness, outpatient therapy for adults, substance abuse, couples therapy and therapy with adolescents. I am effective with a wide variety of evidence based interventions, and have a strong understanding of the recovery process. One's path in life will have a wide variety of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that may or may not help us to be at our most satisfied, happy, self actualized self. To have the courage to work on improving ones self is a step toward more fulfillment with ones overall quality of life. I appreciate helping others to reach their full potential.
