I am a licensed marriage & family therapist, as well as a licensed clinical social worker. In my practice, I do family of origin, blended families, marriage & divorce/post divorce counseling. In addition, I work with children, adolescents, as well as adults suffering from depression, sexual/physical/ emotional abuse, anxiety, grief, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and eating disorder issues. I do specialty work with DID clients and conduct ADHD diagnostic assessments/counseling with ADHD adults/children. I believe empathy and a desire to allow people to identify their own treatment goals are keys to successful therapy results. To maximize the success of the client’s goals, I utilize an eclectic approach comprising a number of treatment modalities. I will often give my clients ‘assignments’ to complete before their next session thereby measuring progress. It takes courage and work to participate in the therapy process. My clients have reported results such as, “increased belief in self," "better communication with partner", "more productive,” "I understand my child more”, “I have new methods to cope".
