My clients have a variety of issues including Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Emotional Disturbance, and Behavioral Issues. Clients often require psychoeducation, identifying emotions and somatic symptoms, use of a variety of coping skills, behavioral management techniques including contingency management, knowledge of social skills and opportunities to practice such skills. My goal for every client is to help them find their motivation, gain knowledge about their issues, and to be able to effectively manage their issues. I have been a practicing as a social worker for eight years, specifically working in a therapeutic day school with students who have severe emotional and behavioral needs. Prior to being a social worker, I was a general education math teacher. My expertise ranges from educational law to crisis intervention and therapeutic services and interventions. I value peace, respect, and communication for myself and my clients at the highest level. All people should be treated with respect to their feelings and boundaries. Please do not hesitate to reach out if I am the therapist for you.
