About
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who employs a family systems theoretical perspective in doing counseling with adults, adolescents, and children. Depending upon the particular client, I will conduct individual, couple/marital, or family sessions to help individuals gain insight into the dynamics of his or her family of origin. This approach includes an examination of the manner in which these behavior patterns are currently influencing the client's relationships with dating partners, spouses, children, in-laws, friends, co-workers, supervisors, employers, and other significant individuals in the client's life. During counseling sessions, we focus on strategies that the client can employ to more clearly define a stronger sense of self, including relaxation techniques, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and assertiveness training. A similar approach is employed to fortify the identities of individuals in couple/marital and family therapy sessions. Examples of issues addressed include relationship problems, parenting difficulties, depression, anxiety, codependency, self-esteem, and identity clarification. I strongly feel that my personal strengths include an engaging personal warmth, a down-to-earth style, an appropriate use of humor, and an openess to discussing spiritual issues if the client desires to do so..
