Making the first appointment is the hardest step, and I ensure that you are comfortable and at ease from the first contact. I feel that my strengths lie in my ability to make connections and foster a warm relationship, even with those who are apprehensive. This is because of the improvements and benefits seen almost immediately. Find out more below. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families.
I enjoy assisting in the progress and achievement of attaining goals. You will leave feeling better each time we meet. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach, I have worked successfully with children, adolescents, young adults, parents, and families.
My style is practical, focusing a lot on coping mechanisms and strategies, but also warm and engaging. Some of my strengths include really seeing who you are, being authentic, and moving at your own pace toward progress. Whether you have anxiety and worry, are feeling sad or depressed, or just want some help setting and reaching goals, I will meet you where you are and help you move forward.
I connect well with my clientsโmen, women, teens, and childrenโand would welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns. If you want to learn more about me, feel free to read my blog. I bring to my practice over 10 years of experience as a school social worker, several of them as the Lead School Social Worker in a district with over 20 school social workers.
In my current practice, I use all these experiences in the schools by being a strong advocate for my clients and by teaching them social skills, executive functioning habits, and other skills that are helpful both inside and outside of the school setting.
